ITALIAN NAVY 1861-1991
COMPENDIUM OF 130 YEARS OF LIFE

This volume offers a balanced context of the history of the Italian Navy in a limited number of pages, in order to give some synthetic and exhaustive information of the history events that have characterized its existence, for 130 years, from its birth to Gulf War. The book is not restricted to illustrate the Italian Navy policy, its naval operations and the technical features of its ships, instead it also faces topics of social and political character.
Another aspect concerns the drawing up of the work in English too, initiative through which the Italian Navy General Staff appears again on the international scene, taking Italian history outside its national borders.

BETWEEN MEMORY AND FUTURE
THE CENTENARY OF THE ITALIAN NAVY GENERAL STAFF

The volume represents the most significant way to celebrate the centenary of the Italian Navy General Staff, since it outlines its identity by means a history excursus of its activities: the rich photographic patrimony, the continuous editorial production, the participation and the organization of exhibitions and conventions; everything is reconstructed on the basis of the wide documentary sources produced by the General Staff itself over its existence.
