Quando inizia la nostra storia
Le grandi svolte del passato che hanno disegnato il mondo in cui viviamo
(2018, Mondadori)
The author and journalist in conversation with Ruth Ben-Ghiat (NYU)
History is a life coach: we urgently need to rediscover it as our guide. In this book, Federico Rampini plays with a number of decisive dates to shed light on surprising links between momentous events of the past and our present times: from the first printed bible to the demise of Lehman Brothers, from Savonarola to the populist leaders of today. This rearview adventure through time winds up becoming a sort of magical mirror tracing new outlines and meanings, as well as the right amount of depth, around places, facts, and characters that Rampini has observed as a first-person witness.
