From former minister Gennaro Sangiuliano to historian Marco Bassani, from former senator Gianluigi Paragone to sociologist Luca Ricolfi, these are some of the main names on the program of the Ideario cultural festival that kicks off tomorrow, Thursday 18 December, in Cagliari (Manifattura) and gives voice to writers, intellectuals, and journalists.
"The festival aims," underlines artistic director Fabio Meloni, "to go beyond the wall of conformism, without being afraid of ideas, even politically incorrect ones, and to propose an alternative vision to the single and dominant thought in the casemates of culture."
We start tomorrow at 6:00 pm with “Ideario24” which will be presented by the artistic director Fabio Meloni. At 6:15 pm, the president of the Centro Studi Machiavelli, Daniele Scalea, will introduce the first appointment of “Sfogliando le pagine” with the journalist and former minister Gennaro Sangiuliano who will present “Trump. La rivincita” (Mondadori). A particularly anticipated meeting given the latest news events that led to his resignation from the government role. At 7:15 pm, the journalist Gianluigi Paragone will close the first day with the monologue “Maledetta Europa”, taken from his book of the same name (Signs Books): a merciless analysis of the history, institutions and evolution of the European Union.
Friday, starting at 5:30 p.m.: with the introduction of journalist Andrea Curreli, Brunella Bolloli will present “Il verminaio. L'inchiesta sui dossier dell'antimafia” (Baldini+Castoldi). At 6:15 p.m., Bolloli will introduce the debate “Vedo fascisti ovunque” (I see fascists everywhere) with contributions from journalist Alberto Busacca (author of the book “Fasciofobia”, Signs Books) and lawyer Stefano Stochino (author of the book “La Repubblica transitoria”, Settimo Sigillo). At 7:15 p.m., journalists Fausto Biloslavo and Francesca Ronchin will present their books “Talebani dell'accoglienza” (Signs Books) and “IpocriSea”, Compagnia editoriale Aliberti).
The third and final day will begin on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.: journalist Maria Dolores Picciau (former councilor) will talk with professor of History of Political Thought, Marco Bassani, author of “A scuola di declino” (Liberilibri). At 6:15 p.m., journalist Madina Fabretto will introduce the debate “La carcere del pensiero unico” (The Prison of Single Thought) with journalist Fabio Dragoni, Marco Bassani and sociologist Luca Ricolfi, author of the book “Il follemente corretto” (La nave di Teseo). The Festival will close with Fabio Dragoni, who will present “Per non morire al verde” (Il Timone), analyzing the motivations that led to the energy transition not as the result of a technological innovation, but as the consequence of a specific political choice.
