After the success of Readers’ train, Tuscany still talks about itself Turin Book FairWhere the Region is present with its own stande with many initiatives to support reading and the book supply chain, launched within the General states of culture with a collaboration between the Culture Commission of the Council and the Council.
The President of the Region visited the stand, it was said proud of the creativity with which Tuscany has been able to show itself at its best, with the most original products of its publishing. And it could only be like this for a region that has always seen publishing as an important driver of development, identity and love for culture.
Among the initiatives planned there is also one dedicated to centenary of the death of Giacomo Matteotti, with the presentation of the book by Aldo Cazzullo “Giacomo Matteotti, portrait in images”. The event, organized by the regional council and council together with Pisa University Press-University, it was an opportunity for a dialogue between present and past.
The analysis that the journalist and writer makes of the murderer Matteotti it is, according to the President of the Region, a lucid read and, in perspective, capable of stimulating attention also on current events.
It clearly emerges, in this analysis, the direct responsibility of the fascists under the direct orders of Mussolini in the murder and the precise desire to attack the reformists, whose ideals were considered dangerous obstacles to the establishment of a dictatorship. Thus, the same hand will strike later Giovanni Amendola and Carlo Rosselli.
Also present was the president of the Culture Commission of the Regional Council, who together with the Council organized the presentation of the book and who expressed her satisfaction for a moment of reflection on an episode of our history on which, as Cazzullo explains, incredibly there still does not seem to be a shared memory, so much so that it was not possible to put a plaque on the walls of Matteotti’s house. An important event, therefore, according to the president of the Commission, not only from a literary but also a civil point of view.
