Hamburg. As part of the Europawoche 2016 scheduled tomorrow at the Italian Cultural Institute in Hamburg is a lecture by Professor Marcello Verga from the University of Florence on the topic of centrality of the city in European history narratives from the 18th century to the present; their economic role, politics and culture in defining the structure of European society and in the classical paradigms of construction of the European idea of civilisation. Verga then dwells on some examples of European cities whose history can illustrate the complexities and peculiarities of the urban phenomenon in European history. Verga is professor of modern history at the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Florence and director of the Institute of History of the National Research Council of Mediterranean Europe.
