History telling. Esperimenti di storia narrata
Not the usual history. Not the usual book. This book gives us six exemples of History Telling, the original way of teaching history that Paolo Colombo experiences for some years outside schools, in theatres. The distruction of Warsaw during WW2, the exploitation of the Congo, the life of Adriano Olivetti and John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the link between rock, young people and drugs, the connection between Disco Music and gay’s coming out in the society: these are some ways in which the History meets stories.
Paolo Colombo is professor of History of Political Institutions in Università Cattolica, where he teaches also Contemporary History.Author of many essays and monographies, he collaborates with RaiStoria and Rai3. He also wrote articles for La Gazzetta dello Sport and has published young-adult novels.
