Summary "Il Regno d'Etruria" by vicomte de Eugène-Melchior Vogüé is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the brief existence and significance of the Kingdom of Etruria, established during the turbulent times of the French Revolution and Napoleon's reign. It explores the intersection of politics, culture, and national identity in Italy during this period, reflecting on the broader implications of French influence on the region. In this narrative, Vogüé presents a detailed examination of the Kingdom of Etruria, which was created as a vassal state under Napoleon's rule. The author discusses the reign of the royal couple, Don Luigi and Maria Luisa, who struggled with governance amidst financial troubles and external pressures. As their rule faltered, Vogüé illustrates the political intrigues and socio-economic crises that unraveled their authority, leading to the kingdom's eventual dissolution and integration into the French Empire. Ultimately, the text serves as both a chronicle of this forgotten kingdom and a commentary on the larger forces shaping Italian identity and nationalist sentiments during a pivotal era in European history.
