On 14 December, the presentation of the book "The Halberd and the Compass: The Rebirth of Freemasonry in Trieste (1947–1954)"

The presentation of Michele Valente’s book "The Halberd and the Compass: The Rebirth of Freemasonry in Trieste (1947–1954)" (Antilia, 2024) is scheduled for Saturday, 14 December, at 6:00 PM at the Libreria Antiquaria Umberto Saba (Via S. Nicolò, 30b – Trieste).

This volume traces the history of Freemasonry in Trieste in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War and inaugurates the editorial series "History, Ethics, and Society," published by the "Manlio Cecovini Study Society."

Michele Valente, who passed away in July 2023, was unable to see his book published. It will remain a lasting testament to the brilliance and intellectual courage of an unforgettable man.

The event, open to the public, will feature a discussion between historians Luca G. Manenti and Roberto Spazzali.
