«Il caratteraccio. Come (non) si diventa italiani» is a historical essay by Vittorio Zucconi, published by Mondadori (hardcover, 256 pages, in Italian).
Vittorio Zucconi investigates why Italians see themselves as having a «caracteraccio» rather than a true national character. Starting from his «American lessons» at Middlebury College, he reviews ten key episodes, from the capture of Rome to the Berlusconi era, to dismantle clichés and contradictions of the «homo italicus».
The work belongs to Mondadori's Frecce collection and is the first edition published in 2009.
It is aimed at readers not specialized in Italian history, as the author writes thinking of those who know little about the subject.
