As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians.
I've been to Brescia this summer and I found out there is a Via Quaglieni.
Can anyone tell me the story on this? My g,gg, ggg grandfathers were Quaglieni. So that's why I'm very interested.
