Buon 25 aprile nell’anno in cui, finalmente, ho letto per intero La Storia. ✊ 🌹 🇮🇹 Romanzo, documentario e poema epico a un tempo, forse il racconto più letterariamente e socialmente intelligente del medio Novecento italiano. Morante ha scalato il mio empireo letterario.

On a streak of really good reads this month, but Apeirogon by Colum McCann stands out as perhaps the best book I’ve read in a few years. Not an easy read, but stunning in its ability to embrace complexity and force the reader to experience it through a visionary narrative form.

Never has a promotion been more well-deserved. Riccardo is a scientific and ethical role model, and his collaboration and support some of the reasons why I decided to stick around in academia despite the very dark times. Lucky to have you among us, and ad maiora!
