==Relevant history ==
=== Overview ===
Italy holds a rich history, being the birthplace of the Roman civilization, including both the Republic and Empire, as well as the Italian Renaissance in the 15th and 16th centuries. When the Western Roman Empire fell to the Goths in 476, Italy was divided into warring states until the unification of Italy in 1860. In the 20th century, Italy birthed the first fascist government under Benito Mussolini, though the Italian Republic formed after Mussolini was killed by his own people.
In the anomalous world, the SCP Foundation has a strong foothold in Italy, incorporating the Regio Istituto delle Italiche Anomaliæ into the Foundation as the Italian Branch. Several Groups of Interest reside within Italy's borders, including the terroristic Fascist Council of the Occult, the monastic Confraternity of Saint George's Knights, and the secretive Ordo Iani.
