This chronological story starts with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and leads you through the most iconic events, influential figures, and cultural milestones that have shaped Italy into what we see today. It’s all serious stuff, but we do take time to stop and laugh at battles over a bucket, rude names, naughty priests and popes, rabbits winning sieges, doves winning battles, bits of dead bodies as tokens of love, and whole series of real historical silly situations that no comedian could think of. Come along every other week for a compelling and insightful glimpse into A History of Italy.","last_synced_at":"2026-08-01T00:18:47.287322+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-history-of-italy-1607818"},"episode":{"title":"Interview episode: The Toscanini conspiracy with Filippo Iannarone","slug":"interview-episode-the-toscanini-conspiracy-with-filippo-iannarone","published_at":"2026-05-05T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-history-of-italy-1607818/interview-episode-the-toscanini-conspiracy-with-filippo-iannarone","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-history-of-italy-1607818","url":"https://www.sentiremedia.com/show/ahistoryofitalypodcast/","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/p28996/episodes.captivate.fm/episode/becfc3b6-b82d-43d1-af9e-48d9973e8681.mp3","summary":"When the president of the brand new Republic of Italy, Luigi Einaudi decides in 1946 he wants to exercise his right to select 5 illustrious Italians to be senators for life, one of his choices falls on world famous conductor Arturo Toscanini .
