Cultural events in Italy highlight historical and editorial legacies

A series of cultural presentations in Italy are examining significant historical and editorial milestones. In Porto Recanati, a presentation of the book “I giorni che hanno cambiato l’Italia” will take place on November 15 at the Pinacoteca A. Moroni. The work, authored by Donato Caporalini and Carlo Latini with a preface by Luciana Castellina, explores pivotal moments in Italian republican history, specifically the 1946 birth of the Republic and the 1974 divorce referendum.

In a separate literary focus, the volume “Ida, Laura e le altre,” edited by Annalisa Gimmi, examines the overlooked contributions of women to the Italian publishing industry. The book details how female readers, translators, and consultants shaped the success of the Giallo Mondadori series from 1929 through the post-war period, highlighting figures such as Ida Omboni and Laura Grimaldi.
