Una storia quasi soltanto mia
Licia e Pino si conobbero nel 1952 a un corso di esperanto, a Milano. Lei voleva imparare la "lingua universale" che avrebbe facilitato la comprensione tra i popoli e portato la pace; lui voleva prendere il diploma e insegnarlo. Comincia così la loro storia d'amore. Licia, che ha cominciato a lavorare come dattilografa a tredici anni, fa la segretaria e abita in un palazzo popolare in viale Monza. Quando finisce il lavoro fa a piedi il tragitto fino a casa con Pino. Parlano tanto, hanno ideali comuni e amano leggere. Dopo due anni di fidanzamento si sposano, nonostante le diffidenze dei genitori, e conducono una vita bohémien. Pino fa il ferroviere, è anarchico e, dato che con la nascita ...
Pinelli
È il 15 dicembre 1969, a Milano è da poco passata la mezzanotte. Da tre giorni non si parla d’altro che dell’attentato alla Banca dell’Agricoltura, in piazza Fontana. Per Camilla Cederna è stata una lunga giornata, quella dei funerali in Duomo delle diciassette vittime della strage. Si è appena addormentata, quando all’improvviso squilla il telefono. Sono gli amici e colleghi giornalisti Corrado Stajano e Giampaolo Pansa: «Fatti trovare in strada tra cinque minuti, è successo qualcosa in questura». Così inizia il libro che state per leggere. Un libro che Camilla Cederna scrisse dopo le sue indagini di quei giorni e destinato a suscitare scalpore ancora per molto tempo. All’...
Elio Petri
Elio Petri (1929-1982) was one of the most commercially successful and critically revered Italian directors ever. A cultured intellectual and a politically committed filmmaker, Petri made award-winning movies that touched controversial social, religious, and political themes, such as the Mafia in We Still Kill the Old Way (1967), police brutality in Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970), and workers' struggles in Lulu the Tool (1971). His work also explored genre in a thought-provoking and refreshing manner with a taste for irony and the grotesque: among his best works are the science fiction satire The 10th Victim (1965), the ghost story A Quiet Place in the Country (1968), and the grotesque giallo Todo modo (1976). This book examines Elio Petri's life and career, and places his work within the social and political context of postwar Italian culture, politics, and cinema. It includes a detailed production history and critical analysis of each of his films, plenty of never-before-seen bits of information recovered from the Italian ministerial archives, and an in-depth discussion of the director's unfilmed projects.
Milanese Encounters
Milanese Encounters examines how the acts of looking, recognizing, and being seen reflect social relations and power structures in contemporary Milan.
Pushing Past the Night
December 15, 1969, was the most important day of Mario Calabresi's life, although he would not be born for another year. On that date, the anarchist Giuseppe Pinelli fell to his death from a window at the Milan police headquarters, where he was being questioned about his role in the Piazza Fontana massacre, the most infamous episode of domestic terrorism in Italy. Police Inspector Luigi Calabresi, Mario's father, was in the building, though not in the room, at the time of the accident. This didn't stop the rumors that Pinelli had been killed by Calabresi. These suspicions kicked off "a ferocious lynching, albeit in slow motion"—as the Italian paper La Repubblica characterized it—that cul...
The Judge and the Historian
Carlo Ginzburg draws on his work on witchcraft trials in the 16th and 17th centuries to dissect the weaknesses of the state's case in the 20th-century show trial of Italian communists, Sofri, Bompressi and Pietrostefani.
