Books for Christmas: Vittorio Emanuele Parsi
"Books for Christmas" remains the cultural highlight of the Bolzano Christmas Market. High-calibre authors are guests in Bolzano this year to present their works and meet the public.
The 8th edition will take place this year on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 24 November to 16 December in the Mercantile Building, in the Festival Hall of the Municipality of Bolzano and in the City Club.
Free admission. It is possible to purchase the book on site.
VITTORIO EMANUELE PARSI: "MADRE PATRIA"
"Why is a new reflection on the Fatherland appropriate now?" asks Vittorio Emanuele Parsi in the opening of this pamphlet. The answer, he says, is right before our eyes in the Italian political debate, where the term Fatherland often ends up being used in the opposite sense to its original meaning: not to unite, but to divide. But even more so in the international scenario, where instead we see how the idea of Fatherland - far from being a dusty and ambiguous concept - can represent a formidable multiplier of energy, self-sacrifice and spirit of sacrifice, capable of creating that sense of identity that is the only possible starting point for opening up to others without fear of being invaded and denatured by them. Whether we are talking about nationalisms, migratory flows or other instances that change the world geopolitical situation, we cannot therefore avoid reflecting on patriotic sentiment.
