Italian and American institutions, leading figures from the cultural, artistic, and economic sectors, as well as internationally renowned experts and professionals. A special opportunity to meet exceptional guests such as writers, filmmakers, historians, artists, Michelin-starred chefs, and influential figures from the Italian-American scene.
Writer Matteo Nucci, a profound expert in the ancient world, offers a literary and human journey through three giants of literature: Homer, Hemingway, and Rigoni Stern.
Three authors who, across different eras and languages, have told of the pain and absurdity of war—but also of the possibility of mercy and brotherhood.
From the embrace of Achilles and Priam in the Iliad, to Hemingway’s tales born in World War I, to the snowy retreat of the Italian army as narrated by Rigoni Stern, comes a deeply relevant reflection on the meaning of conflict and human dignity.
An intense encounter to ask ourselves—today—what it truly means to be human.
