Tuesday March 8, 4pm – 5pm – International Women’s Day | Mathilde Serao
The Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan is hosting guest speaker Michael Pacitti from London for this presentation.
Michael translated two of Matilde Serao’s novellas, Thirty Percent (Trenta Percento) and Lucky Numbers (Terno Secco), are now available in a single volume on Kindle.
Matilde Serao was the first woman to edit and publish a newspaper in Italy. She was the chronicler par excellence of the Naples of her time and a woman of indefatigable ambition. Her portrayal of Naples in the late 19th century in all its anarchic and decadent magnificence is the genesis of everything that proceeds it. She should be honored as the great-great Godmother of the feminist chronicler of Naples de nos jours, and her contribution to Italian literature should not be ignored.

Alessandro Barbero Video e Podcast – Come scoppiano le guerre? La seconda guerra mondiale
Il 23 agosto 1939 Hitler e Stalin firmarono un patto di non aggressione, e il 1 settembre Hitler invase la Polonia sperando che le potenze democratiche, Francia e Inghilterra, non sarebbero intervenute. Si sbagliava: quel giorno scoppiò una guerra che doveva concludersi solo sei anni dopo e provocare distruzioni su una scala che il mondo non aveva mai conosciuto. Ma perché i negoziati che Stalin aveva condotto in vista di un’alleanza con i paesi democratici erano falliti, convincendolo all’innaturale alleanza con la Germania nazista? E cosa spinse Francia e Inghilterra a intervenire, quando l’anno prima avevano assistito passivamente all’invasione dell’Austria e della Cecoslovacchia da parte dei nazisti, dando a Hitler la sensazione che anche stavolta nessuno lo avrebbe fermato?
