Prominent guests will engage in heated debates at the 50th-anniversary exhibition of Repubblica in Rome, featuring discussions on contemporary political issues, crime literature, and youth writing.
The 50th-anniversary exhibition of Repubblica is set to take place at the Mattatoio in Rome, featuring a series of talks on February 21. The discussions will cover pressing topics in contemporary politics and literature, drawing attention to vital national issues such as neo-authoritarianism, justice, and crime in Italy. Prominent guests include constitutional expert Michele Ainis and political editor Carmelo Lopapa, who will lead discussions titled 'Resisting Neo-Authoritarianism'.
In the afternoon, the focus will shift to literature, with writers Giancarlo De Cataldo and Viola Ardone taking the stage. De Cataldo, known for his works on crime and social issues in Italy, will discuss his collaboration with Carlo Bonini on 'Suburra', exploring themes of organized crime and its representation in media. The event promises to bridge the gap between fiction and real-life crime narratives, emphasizing the complexities of Italian society.
Ardone will later discuss the importance of writing for youth with deputy director Stefania Aloia, highlighting the role of literature in influencing younger generations. These talks are not only a celebration of Repubblica’s legacy but also a critical examination of Italy's current socio-political landscape, making it an essential gathering for those interested in the intersection of journalism, literature, and societal concerns.
