Within the context of its newly adopted 2011-2013 activity program, the Centro per gli Studi storici italo-germanici launches a 3-years project of research on the following topic: "Transition as a historiographical issue. The phases of the critical development of «modernity» 1494-1973" under the coordination of the Director of the Center, Prof. Paolo Pombeni.

The project focuses on the theme of 'transition' as a major category of interpretation of the passages that have remodeled what may be defined in general terms as "modernity", i.e. the period extending roughly from Renaissance humanism to the turning point of the 1970s. A detailed description of the project and its various subdivisions can be found in the document "Project_Transition as a historiographical issue"
