17 December 2024
Hosted by Fabio Todero
The tenth appointment of the conference series promoted by the Cultural Association ‘Manlio Cecovini Study Society’ is scheduled for Tuesday, 17 December 2024 at 6.30 p.m. at the Antico Caffè San Marco in Trieste.
The event, hosted by Fabio Todero, will consider the crucial years of the Great War in relation to the biographical experience of Carlo and Giani Stuparich, their journey from enlistment in Rome to the Karst of Monfalcone, from the brief wartime pause to the return to the front of Oslavia, up to the dramatic epilogue of Monte Cengio, on the Asiago plateau, and Giani's imprisonment. This will be done using literary works dedicated by Giani Stuparich to his brother and the conflict, and epistolary and autobiographical materials by Carlo and Giani himself. An opportunity to reflect on how decisive the experience of the Great War was for an entire generation.
