Cosa significa ricordare la Resistenza? Paolo Malaguti prende le mosse da una salita in bicicletta sul Monte Grappa per avviare un viaggio intimo e lucido nei luoghi, nelle tracce, nei silenzi della memoria resistenziale italiana. Ma ben presto il racconto si allarga, intrecciando la riflessione sulla storia con quella, attualissima, sulla memoria e sulla scuola: perché la Resistenza non è (solo) un capitolo da manuale, ma un laboratorio civile e pedagogico in cui misurare il valore della democrazia, della parola, del dissenso.

La Grande Guerra non ha eroi. I protagonisti non sono re, imperatori, generali. Sono fanti contadini, i nostri nonni.

Eppure, sia il racconto di una sofferenza che oggi non riusciamo a immaginare, sia le tante storie a lieto fine restituiscono la stessa idea: la Grande Guerra fu la prima sfida dell'Italia unita; e fu vinta.

No city stirs the imagination more than Venice. From the richly ornamented palaces emerging from the waters of the Grand Canal to the dazzling sites of Piazza San Marco, visitors and residents alike sense they are entering, as fourteenth-century poet Petrarch remarked, “another world.” During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Venice was celebrated as a model republic in an age of monarchs.

Vesuvius is best known for its disastrous eruption of 79CE. But only after 1738, in the age of Enlightenment, did the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii reveal its full extent. In an era of groundbreaking scientific endeavor and violent revolution, Vesuvius became a focal point of strong emotions and political aspirations, an object of geological enquiry, and a powerful symbol of the Romantic obsession with nature.
