1. 1. Le Parole Sono Pietre

   

   A compact, engagéd blend of reportage, memoir and political essay that probes postwar Italy’s social fractures, with particular attention to the poverty and marginalization of the rural South; through vivid scenes, dialogues and personal recollection the author explores the moral responsibilities of artists and intellectuals and the ways language, rhetoric and political discourse can wound, exclude or mobilize—arguing that words often act like stones, shaping realities and struggles for justice.
