Following the public success of the first three meetings, which recorded over 900 attendees each, the second edition of History Lessons continues on Saturday, February 15th at Teatro Donizetti (11 AM). This initiative, conceived by Editori Laterza and co-produced with the Fondazione Teatro Donizetti with the support of Cassa Lombarda, will feature the next rebel, Robespierre. His figure will be analyzed by Luigi Mascilli Migliorini, Professor of Modern History. The lecture will be introduced by journalist Max Pavan, head of information at Bergamo TV. From a well-mannered lawyer in a provincial town to a symbol of the French Revolution, its illusions, and its horrors: Robespierre's controversial personality, still fascinating and subject to study and debate, reflects the unease of a bourgeois spirit manifested in an “incorruptibility” that later embodied the sacred principles of a Revolution, despite itself, inevitably destined to become corrupt. Member of the “Accademia dei Lincei, former president of SISEM and professor of Modern History at the” L'Orientale University, “Luigi Mascilli Migliorini is one of the leading scholars of the” Napoleonic era and the Restoration in Europe, to which he has dedicated two important biographies: Napoleon (Salerno Editrice 2002, new edition 2015) and Metternich (Salerno Editrice 2014). He is Commandeur de l “'Ordre des Palmes Académiques, Chevalier de l'” Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of the French Republic and visiting professor at the “École Normale Supérieure in Paris and the” Catholic University of Santiago de Chile. He is part of the Scientific Committee of Napoleon's Correspondance at “Fayard publishing house. For Laterza, he has published, among” other works, The Modern Age. A global history (2022). The “History Lessons” will conclude on Saturday, March 1st with Professor Loris Zanatta, who will present the figure of Fidel Castro and his revolutionary “political religion” (March 1st). At the end of the meetings, the authors will remain with the audience for book signings at the Ridotto Gavazzeni of the Theater.
