Novecento in riva al mare | Which stories, how many stories
with Alessandra Bitumi, Michele Marchi, Stefano Pivato, Gigi Riva

The usefulness of knowledge of the past is often questioned, especially as a tool to guide the experiences of individuals and communities. Yet if there is a civic urgency, it is to bring the historical dimension back to the forefront. Because history is what we are condemned to live in, and ignoring it is like not wanting to know anything about the air we breathe.
