The University of Urbino in northern Italy has just published an important work by leading Maltese historian Henry Frendo in a special edition of Studi Urbinati, which has come out regularly since 1928.

Entitled Colonialismo E Nazionalismo Nel Mediterraneo - La Lotta Partitica A Malta Durante L'occupazione Inglese - Tra Assimilazione E Resistenza, the book is "a cura di" Stefano Bruno and carries an introduction by Giuseppe Giliberti, holder of the chair of Foundations of European Law at Urbino, a 500-year-old university of studies in Le Marche named after its famous scholar-rector Carlo Bo. It was from this University that Enrico Mizzi had graduated as a lawyer in 1912.

Colonialismo E Nazionalismo is essentially a revised version in Italian of Prof. Frendo's earlier work Party Politics In A Fortress Colony, the second edition of which has been out of print for a decade.

The book is updated to 2008 with a section on post-colonial Malta and "il dopo Mintoff" as well as a comprehensive bibliography.

Colonialismo E Nazionalismo will be officially launched by Urbino University's Rector, Stefano Pivato, himself a modernist historian, and other eminent authors of various nationalities in autumn.
