A tribute to Nelson Graburn: The Joy of Tourism Research
The fiction of colorblind Italy and Orio Vergani's Io, povero negro (1929)
Taking aim at the myth that il razzismo non esiste in Italy, this article explores the rhetorical mechanisms that underpin anti-black racism vis-à-vis Italian colonial fiction—fictions that give life to the deceit that Italy is colorblind. It focuses attention on the work of Orio Vergani (1898-1960) who was one of the most prolific documentarians of Italian East Africa. His reportage established a vast image repository of exoticized, black bodies…
On Italian mobilities and ecological fretwork
This invited commentary explores the ecological fretwork binding people and nature, and, specifically, how Italy and Italianness serve as critical frames for envisioning an environmental history of migration. It examines how each contribution in this special issue adds rigorous archival research to the growing body of academic literature on Italy and the environmental humanities. It also comments on the future research directions, which are conne…

The ‘age of empires’ closely overlaps the dramatic development of tourism from a largely European phenomenon to a global one. This round table discussion draws together six scholars to explore the relationship(s) between empire and tourism across time and place
On the Origins of Making Italy: Massimo D’Azeglio and ‘Fatta l’Italia, bisogna fare gli Italiani’
This article clarifies the origin of a phrase that has been central to Italy’s nation-making project since the mid-nineteenth century, ‘Fatta l’Italia, bisogna fare gli Italiani,’ and which has been erroneously attributed to statesman Massimo D’Azeglio since approximately 1866. It traces the permutations of the phrase through the publication history of D’Azeglio’s I miei ricordi, its resurfacing in the writings of Ferdinando Martini at the fin de…

Empires of tourism: Travel and rhetoric in Italian colonial Libya and Albania, 1911–1943
This article examines the constitutive relationships between tourism and colonialism in Italy's first and last Mediterranean colonies – Libya and Albania – during the early twentieth century. It attends to the ways that tourism was positioned as a colonizing strategy in each; a practice that came to fruition in Libya but remained in a nascent state in Albania due to the Second World War and fascism's end. This article also brings into relief the …

This essay explores three Italianate simulacra that stand in for 'Italy': 1) the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, 2) Mediterranean Harbor at the Tokyo DisneySea theme park, and 3) the luxury suburb of Sorrento at Dublin Ranch in northern California. Methodologically, it engages the tenets of anthropological participant-observation and ethnographic documentation. It confronts physically reconstructed images of Italy and corresponding forms …
