Can you recommend podcasts about the history of Italy? Preferably available on Spotify. Grazie mille.
Are you more interested in modern Italy, renaissance Italy, or ancient Roman history? Or something else?

A couple of episodes in The Rest is History:
72. England v Italy [09Jul21] No country has enjoyed a greater influence on the English than Italy. Ahead of the European Championship final, Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland explore the history of Rome, Italy and England.
194. The First Fascist. [21Jun22] discusses the 'first' fascist, Gabriele D'Annunzio, with historian Lucy Hughes-Hallett. D'Annunzio was a key figure in Italian literature before becoming a political figure later in his life. Although never personally identifying with fascism, his ideas were hugely influential on Mussolini.
Also Ep. 16 on Pompeii
