The Arcaini Web

Lightpan Award for Academic Excellence

This website provides useful information about Italy and its rich history. I am also periodically adding general information related to my family, general historic events, and business related information.

My original website crashed thanks to an update by the web design platform I used to build my original arcaini.com site in the mid 1990s, which now is arcaini.net.

This first "All About Italy" segment is complete, however, I will expand with additional information as time allows.

The information contained in this first (Italy) section is based on extensive research of literature, references, published articles and on-line image libraries. Specific information and images are referenced on a case by case basis under "Source" and "Credits".

If you have any (constructive) comment(s) regarding corrections or additions to any of the content, please email me your suggestions.
