Some pics of my public speech on the history of antifascism in Italy before and after 1943. I talked about the Arditi del popolo, my grandfather, and the many secrets of the past that still shape our present lives.

New publication alert!

In this paper co-authored by me & Francesco Marchi, we argue that many instances of perceptual learning should be construed as habit-like rather than skill-like.

Now more than ever it is important to keep antifascism and memory alive!

This Sunday, we will commemorate the 21 Italian soldiers (IMI) forgotten by history, who had been killed in an Allied bombing of the Forced Labour camp where they were kept prisoners by the Wehrmacht, in 1945.
