What you'll learn in this step:

Italy is a young country (1861), thus for many centuries there was no such a thing as Italy. Instead, there would be plenty of city-states, each of them with their own institutions, currency, and army; they were overall wealthy, powerful, and generally at war with each other. Watch the first 4 minutes of this walking tour video and ask yourself: What features (buildings, places etc) give you evidence of a medieval city-state? Do you see any similarities with a city of your own country?
