Marco Calabrese on newsstands with his latest work “The Congress of Vienna”
From Friday 25 November, the volume of the series “The Days that Made History”, entitled “The Congress of Vienna”, has been on newsstands. And it bears the signature of one of our fellow countrymen: in fact, he is one of the authors Marco Calabrese, originally from Catanzaro.
Between the notes of a waltz and a stolen look at the ladies of the best European aristocracy, the threads of the fate of all of Europe are woven, which still walks among the ashes of the revolutionary flame and Napoleonic conquests. It was November 1814 when the nine months of negotiations for a Congress that had long carried with them the stigma of the Restoration and reactionary culture began in Vienna. But behind the crowd of sovereigns and princes seated on their thrones and the systematic division of peoples and territories, peeps out a balanced and reflective diplomacy, capable of putting aside weapons and wars and approaching an innovative system to resolve disputes international. A lesson that was never forgotten and has survived to this day.
Marco Calabrese, a native of Gimigliano, after his high school studies at the Siciliani, he furthered his training in Milan and in France. Passionate about history, music and melodrama, he has collaborated with the most prestigious world theaters. Now he has happily returned to Catanzaro, and we are already awaiting his next editorial effort.
