| Summary | "Le invasioni barbariche in Italia" by Pasquale Villari is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the complexities and challenges of narrating Italian history, particularly focusing on the events surrounding the barbarian invasions and the decline of the Roman Empire. Villari's work aims to engage the general public with accessible storytelling, contrasting with the trend of scholarly texts that may alienate broader audiences. The opening of the book presents Villari's intentions and the challenges he faced in writing a narrative history of Italy that is both engaging and informative. He discusses the growing focus on archival research and the abundant historical documents that have emerged, highlighting the scarcity of easily readable historical accounts for a general audience. The text begins with a significant inquiry into why the Roman Empire fell, pointing to corruption within Roman society and suggesting that the invasions marked a necessary transition to a new societal structure. Villari considers various elements, including military, social, and religious factors, establishing a foundation for the exploration of Italy's tumultuous historical landscape amidst the incoming barbarian forces.
