Italian Enlightenment Thought And The Founding Fathers

A little light on content, and probably better suited for the E-Talian blog (which hasn't been upated), but still worth a mention. Discusses the role the Italian Enlightenment played during the American Revolutionary War and its influences on the Founding Fathers - Thomas Jefferson was an Italophile.

Giambattista Vico, Ferdinando Galiani, Cesare Beccaria, Galileo, Alessandro Volta and Luigi Galvani are just some examples of Italian Englightenment philosophy.
