For history in the square over 15 thousand visitors to the Ducal of Genoa
(ANSA) – GENOA, 03 APR – There were over 15 thousand participants in La Storia in piazza with meetings, conferences, readings and workshops dedicated to the theme “Telling History”. To Luciano Canfora – one of the curators together with Franco Cardini – the task of closing the exhibition by talking about history and truth. The next edition – which is scheduled from 30 March to 2 April 2023 – will have as its theme “The Secret History” and, in addition to Luciano Canfora and Franco Cardini, will also have Anna Foa as curator.
«In an era of political and ideological ebb – argues Luciano Canfora – the study of history has been marginalized. The fact that widely used initiatives continue to be promoted without falling into banality is the most important antidote to the decline of school teaching in this discipline.
From year to year we have identified issues that were not only substantial, but also linked to anniversaries, to great events. Next year the theme identified, in agreement with the collaborators, is “The Secret History”, that is, that look that goes beyond the surface of events ».
“The success of this edition, not taken for granted, – comments the director of Palazzo Ducale Foundation for culture, Serena Bertolucci – makes us particularly proud, but above all confident in the future and in the fruits that sharing in history and in material and intangible cultural heritage it will make it mature in terms of awareness, citizenship, accessibility, integration and social growth ».
Four days with over 60 conferences, 4 between shows and readings, 2 exhibitions, a cinema evening and many activities and educational workshops, with more than 30 schools connected in streaming from all over Italy. (HANDLE).
