Making Italy Anglican tells the long and unexpected story of Italian translations of the Book of Common Prayer, the principal liturgical text of the Church of England. Beginning in the Venetian Republic and ending with the Italian Risorgimento, the leitmotif running through the various incarnations of this project was the promotion of top-down reform, according to the model of the Church of England itself. Stefano Villani shows how Italy, as the heart of Roman Catholicism, was--over a long period of time--the very center of the global ambitions of the Church of England.
