History

One of Italy's largest cities, Rome was the birthplace and dominant capital city of the Roman Empire in early Earth history. (TOS: "Bread and Circuses")

During the Renaissance on that planet, Italy was home to many of Earth's greatest thinkers and artists, including Galileo Galilei and Leonardo da Vinci.

Since the 19th century, Italy was a nation-state whose territory encompassed the peninsula. In the 1920s, the fascism ideology was developed in response to the economic and social difficulties (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars"). In the 1940s, Italy allied with the Nazi during the World War II.

Italy may have been part of the European Alliance since the 20th century, and joined the United Earth government in the 22nd century.

In 2143, while orbiting Earth in the NX-Alpha, waiting for a glitch in the propulsion system to be cleared up at Starfleet Mission Control, A.G. Robinson noted that he saw Italy pass, several times. (ENT: "First Flight")

During the 2370s, Captain Kathryn Janeway often worked in holodeck programs set in Italy, usually working with a representation of Leonardo da Vinci. (VOY: "Concerning Flight")

Italians

The SS Vico was named after the Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico.
