What does it mean to tell history? Why is all history, in a sense, contemporary? Knowing the past is the key to understanding our present; it is imperative to disseminate and remember the events, phenomena, and people that have marked our national journey, crafting our collective imaginary, molding our opinions, and influencing our way of life. Ultimately, shaping our contemporary world.
Join us on September 22 at 6:30 p.m. for a captivating discussion led by Lorenzo Pregliasco, an authority on public opinion and political communication, and Giovanni Minoli, a distinguished journalist, television executive, author, and program host, including the renowned "cult" program Mixer. This event, titled Passato e presente. Divulgare la storia per (ri)conoscere il contemporaneo, will traverse the realms of television and radio, books, and podcasts, delving into the moments that have defined Italy as the nation we know today.
