The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Italy:

Italy unitary parliamentary republic in South-Central Europe, located primarily upon the Italian Peninsula. Italy is the birthplace of Western civilization. It is where Ancient Rome originated as a small agricultural community about the 8th century BC, which spread over the course of centuries into the colossal Roman empire, encompassing the whole Mediterranean Sea and merging the Ancient Greek and Roman cultures into one civilization. This civilization was so influential that parts of it survive in modern law, administration, philosophy and arts, forming the ground that the Western world is based upon.

Mussolini would have been exposed to experimental psychology through Maria Montessori's line of study which included Charcot, Seguin & Itard, and Maria Montessori herself.

In a short introductory book about the Montessori method called The Essential Montessori on page 9 makes specific reference to Mussolini and Hitler being interested in the method in regards to mass education. It goes on to say that Mussolini was president of the Montessori Association there and that Montessori became upset at Mussolini's leaders and stopped helping them. It also says that at some time all of the Montessori schools were closed in Italy and Germany and that when the German army rolled into Vienna all of the Montessori schools there were closed as well. The book provides a reference to a date when Mussolini had a private audience with Mussolini. (when?)
