Italy has one of the richest history in the world. From the teramare people, Etruscan kingdom, Roman Empire, Papal State, Renaissance and more. I don't think there is another region that has influenced the western world so much and for so long as the Italian peninsula. The history and culture is just immense.
I agree with the amazing scope of the peninsula's effect on western culture- it's very hard to keep that in mind, since the last couple hundred years Italy'a influence is pretty much gone outside of luxury brands.
What timing. I just got back from a week long trip from Italy. As a history enthusiast it was the most amazing experience I've ever had. What an amazing history.
I have Italian blood in my veins. My name is Vitor Kennedy Di Tomaso Pereira Farias and according to the DNA test, my ancestors lived in the Lombardy region in north Italy.
@@vitorpereira9515I got some Italian blood in me as well but its not much. Im mostly Spanish and Danish. Recently discovered that I may have Welsh blood as well aka from Wales, Great Britain.
I’m so glad you still do these! I love the history of country series. You do an absolute great job with them! I know these must take time to make, you deserve much support❤!
Six long years I've waited for this video, And you uploaded it on my birthday. Thank you so much for the years of discovery and wonder you've provided me.
After years of waiting it's finally here. thank you very much fire of learning! Edit: Although Italy is a young nation, the Italian peninsula and it's people has been at the center of European history for thousands of years.
Thanks! I appreciate so much your work, the documentaries leave me spechless my good man! My great grandparents were Italians, they came from Padua, just before unification, during the end of 19th century turmoil on the peninsula. It's great learning more and specially with such excellent content produced! I look forward to seeing the History of Portugal next! 😄🙏
Italy is my favourite country I’ve been lucky enough to visit, you just feel like you’re walking through history wherever you are and the people are amazing
I was excited to see another long form documentary from you this morning! It made for excellent listening. Thank you very much for it. God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
As an Italian American thank you for this video on the history of my ancestral homeland, I’ve been eagerly awaiting this video and I’m excited it’s finally here!
I’m pretty mixed. But I do have some Italian blood, from Piedmont and Sicily. Now I wonder if my family has some Germanic or Celtic blood from the north.
@@joer8954 in the Ancient era there were Celts in Northern Italy yet they have been assimilated. I am Celto-Germano-Helelne-Fino. I am not counting the French side as Romano since they are Romanized Gauls.
Great video! I get stuck going in a loop with the Roman Empire but it's so much better to keep going forward in time to see what happened next in Italy! This is very well done! Thank you.
Impatiently waiting for the second part!!! Thank you so much for these videos. I am revising history and find your videos a better alternative to textbooks. These videos are very helpful in case you don't know from what period to start the revision. Bravo!
Your documentaries on Nations & Peoples as well as Space & Sciences are my favorite of your content. I hope you will make them more frequently. Mexico, Mayans, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Greece, Egypt, Mali, India, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Peru etc. You can do so much as I’m sure you know. I’m just exited that your doing these Nations & Peoples docs again.
Japan was done by at least 3 other channels. LInfamy, Cool History Bros and, I think, The Shogunate (but the last name is a bit too generic, so I am not sure). Second one also did China, Korea and I think some on India too
I find it interesting how the first and final ruler of Rome had the name Romulus. Likewise with eastern Rome being founded by Constantine and having its final emperor also called Constantine.
I’ve been waiting for your next addition to the your “history of” series. I almost thought you were done with the long 1 hour format videos. This honestly made my day 😌
Hey man! When could we expect the second part of the Italy documentary? I'm reading a book about Cola di Rienzo and his try to restore the former glory of Rome, and would love to have some historical background about it, as well as to find out more about the small Italian kingdoms, Venice, Genoa and others. Cheers, great documentary, loved it!
Fantastic, please make more of these type of videos, I love them! I did not know Italian history I between the fall of Rome and the renaissance very well, and now I do!
I’m visiting Italy in less than week, I love history and I just wanted to know a little bit more about the culture of this beautiful country. Thank you so much for the amazing video!!!
I've commented this before, but I'm going to do it again: If any of my history teachers/professors had been half as good as you in presenting material, I would have learned a whole lot more!
@@pyropulseIXXI Lol what? The Germanic tribes didn't count anything evem for the history of country like Germany. The only relevant Germanic tribe were the Franks and they started to be relevant knly when they got romanized in every aspect. What the Franks did was collecting the ledacy of the Romans and this brought Europe to the dark age. Then, after many years, Europe went over Renaissance, the age of discovery, the scientific revolution, etc. All those three phases started with Italy at the center of the European history. The Renaissance is an Italian thing, the age of discovery was promoted by Marco Polo experience, and Italian cartographers and started when two Italians discovered the new world. The scientific revolution was a consequence of the Humanism, birth in Italy, and was boosted by Galileo Galilei, again an Italian. Who brought the Arab numbers in Europe was again an Italian, Fibonacci. The greatest artists, scientists, explorers, cartographers, writers, where all Italians. Who do you think invented the modern music? The Italians with Opera, Piano Forte, and Violin. All the western world history is based on the history of Italy
Justinian is one of my favorite leaders. He created most of the Roman laws in "Corpus juris civilis." It would be great to see a deep dive on his work.
Can I request Poland? You've always explained the history of countries so well! I'm polish and I'd love to learn more about my country that maybe isn't explained as well by my parents :)
Man, why did it take me so long to realise you didn't make a documentary on Italy yet? Great video so far though but tbf I'm just starting it so yeah. Also would be really nice if you could do more documentaries on smaller more underrated states and peoples. Be it Bulgaria, Romania etc. Would be really nice to spread more of the unknown countries' stories out there.
Very interesting and entertaining. The mention of my Dad's hometown (Gaeta) as one of the towns which somewhat defied the German emporors explains the culture there a bit. To this day, they kind of do their own thing in Gaeta.

11:48 Goes so hard 🥵 I've watched the entire marathon of the Roman/Byzantine histories on your channel, and was well familiar with what happened but the delivery was so good 💯 For some reason I forgot at this time period, the eastern roman empire were the direct descendants of the roman empire that was just conquered, and I was reminded in the most epic way 🥶
Thank you for this. Looking forward to part two. Once, when I was little, I asked my Nona about where she was from. I distinctly remember her stating, the northern Italians are blond and blue and to southern Italians (brown hair, brown eyes) did not consider northern Italian as true Italians. Same with Sicily/Sicilians. She said you will know them by their olive tone skin.
I hate when I'm at a peace feast, vibing and drinking with the lads, and M'lord bisects the man what leads those we're making peace with. Really dampens the mood.
One of the countries I recommend doing the history of is Hungary. A lot of interesting things concerning the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the invasion of the Ottoman empire.

I love your documentaries so much, my personal favorite history channel. Glad its back!
You make the best documentaries. I love to listen to them while working
When is Part 2 coming out? This is really good as always!
Impatiently waiting for the second part!!!

All roads lead to Rome!
it is the Germanic tribes that are the basis and history of all of Europe
