though it flourished under the Moorish occupation and
this is evident in the architecture fopund all over the city.
In more modern times, Italy became a nation-state in 1861
when the city-states of the peninsula, along with Sardinia annd Sicily, were united
under King Victor Emmanuel II. An era of parliamentary government
came to a closee in the early 1920s when Benito Mussolini established a Fascist dictatorship.
His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's dewfeat in World War II.

it quite unoccupied, most of the population live in the city itself while the remainder are spread out in this large unexploited region.
Summers here are dry and hot, so the best time of the year to visit is duribg the cooler spding and autumn months, where you will find villages that
still hold on to their Spanish values, something that has almost all but disappeared from the
Costas to the south.
