The Fondazione Informatica Per la Promozione della Persona Disabile (FIPPD), with which LAC edu has long collaborated, offers an evening dedicated to a great historical figure.

Letizia Moizzi, president of the Montanelli-Bassi ETS Foundation (a third sector entity), and Luigi Mascheroni, Il Giornale journalist and author of the book Indro Montanelli. Come un vascello pirata, 50 anni de il Giornale in the words of its founder (Rizzoli, 2024), will be guests at LAC to talk about Indro Montanelli and the volume dedicated to him.

Indro Montanelli (1909-2001) was one of the most important Italian journalists and writers of the 20th century. A Tuscan from Fucecchio, he was a foreign correspondent, war correspondent for Corriere della sera where he worked for forty years, and founder of the daily newspaper Il Giornale. Famous for his clear and direct style, he knew how to recount Italian history and politics with a critical and independent spirit, becoming one of the most authoritative (and often countercurrent) voices on the Italian journalistic scene.

The meeting will conclude with refreshments.
