ROME AND ITS BORDERS: FROM EMPIRE TO IDENTITY
From the pomerium, the sacred boundary of the Roman city, to the crossing of the Rubicon, to the trauma of September 8, 1943: Itineraria, a platform for geopolitical analysis, offers a reflection on the concept of boundaries as the foundation of law and identity, spanning ancient Rome and contemporary challenges. Three of Itineraria’s founders participate: Enrico Arcangelo Stanziale, historian and geopolitical analyst; Massimo Tripodi, strategic consulting expert; and the moderator, Giovanni Teodori.

PARADISE
Stefano Dal Bianco is one of the most respected and acclaimed contemporary Italian poets. With Paradiso (Garzanti, 2024, Strega Prize for Poetry 2024), he recounts his endless walks through the hills of Siena in the company of his beloved dog Tito, in a constant search for the secret messages that nature jealously guards but knows how to reveal to those with the sensitivity to understand them. In conversation with the author is Massimo Natale (University of Verona).
