AIMS AND CONTENT

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The program is divided into two parts, both aimed at exploring the relationship that Italian literature maintained, throughout the second half of the twentieth century, with publishing system and journalism. The first part is dedicated to Alba De Céspedes, an emblematic figure of twentieth-century culture in the literary, journalistic, publishing, and radio fields. The second part is dedicated to Dino Buzzati, a classic of Italian fiction and a master of crime reporting, who covered the most sensational criminal and judicial cases for Corriere della Sera.
