Culture will save us was born as a ‘pamphlet’ and, therefore, in accordance with the genre, turns out to be a passionate work full of ideals.
The author of the reflections contained in it is Mario R., a strange ‘social investigator’, who sometimes directly, sometimes through his close friend and alter ego, to whom he handed over his precious manuscript a few moments before taking off life, analyzes the economic, political and social situation of today’s Italy, the true protagonist of the story.
What appears to be a country now adrift still has a possibility: putting culture back at the center of the debate, the only element capable of restoring vigor, prospects and credit to an Italy that is lifeless and no longer has an identity.
“Only Culture will be able to succeed in restoring strength and vigor to a lifeless country – says the author, Salvatore Scappucci – which, put back at the center of our entire system, will become a true ‘saving element’, the only capable of bringing Italy back to a new ‘neorealism’, no longer cinematic, but social, political and, indeed, cultural”.
