Tuscany has been one of the regions that have shown great commitment in aiding in the struggle for independence in Greece: after all, many Greek families located in the cities of Pisa and Livorno became financiers of the revolts, and the port of Livorno ensured significant logistical advantages. The book, which explores various aspects – ideological, historical, political, literary – of nineteenth-century philhellenism, closes with a substantial iconographic and documentary appendix.
