- The module aims to present the centuries of the so-called modern age, from the end of the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, often defined as 'the era of expansion of Europe in the world' and for this reason told as a process of progressive, unstoppable extension of the model of European civilization to other parts of the planet. Today, faced with renewed and no less shocking processes of globalization, the historical reconstruction of those centuries can only be done in a profoundly different way. The modern age is not the triumphal march of Europe, its states, its economy, its values, but it is the time of birth of the space-world, through the creation of a series of connections - political, economic, cultural - which now assume a capillarity and a constancy of functioning never previously possessed.
