At Go, the presentation of the volume La costituzione americana? È nata a Venezia (Supernova) by Giancarmine Vicinanza, with a foreword by Giuseppe De Filippi, will take place. A reconstruction of the relationships between the Florentine Filippo Mazzei — who was in love with Venetian civilization and fascinated by the centuries-long endurance of its political model — and the key figures of the American Revolution such as Franklin, Washington, and Madison.

For the occasion, the author will engage in conversation with Giovanni Carta.

The book:

The American Constitution was not born from a solitary dream of freedom. It was born from a thousand years of a Republic that managed to endure. It was born from the waters of a Lagoon where men and women understood that true power is not the power to command, but to govern by sharing the “burden” of freedom. And it was born, finally, from an Italian who one day sat beside George Washington and whispered to him the secret that Venice had safeguarded for a thousand years: how to make freedom last over time. Forged through compromise, yet faithful to a rare and immensely powerful principle: the common good.

What this book shows, through its various chapters, is that great political transformations do not occur only through revolutions, but also through whispers, conversations, letters—the slow sedimentation of an idea in the minds of those who have the power to turn it into institutions. Venice did not carry out the American Revolution. It was in decline, worn down by Ottoman wars, economic difficulties, and European pressures. But Venice did something deeper: it provided the mental, cultural, and ideal model. The model of the Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia is a miracle, an architecture built with persistence, clarity, and vision. Living proof that another path was possible.

A text aimed both at couples and at individuals who wish to better understand themselves, within and beyond romantic relationships. At the same time, a tool for reflection and dialogue also for therapists. Rossano Bisciglia presents Come evitare le trappole della coppia. Guida alle relazioni sentimentali (Giunti Psicologia.io), accompanied by actress Daniela Morozzi.

The book:

Why has the couple lost the shine it once had? Come evitare le trappole della coppia explores relational mechanisms that, although rooted in genuine needs, end up suffocating emotional vitality. There are those who merge too quickly and confuse intimacy with the absence of boundaries; those who delegate to their partner the task of understanding, without ever asking; those who measure love based on the number of messages received or on the shared control of everyday details. There is the couple that always laughs, so as never to touch real emotions; the one that shares everything except desire; the one that mistakes calm for a relationship that works. Through real-life stories, clear language, and psychological reflections, the book helps readers recognize dysfunctional dynamics, understand their emotional roots, and imagine possible ways out. It is not a manual for the “perfect couple,” but a sincere invitation to build more conscious, mature, and vital relationships.

Following this, the short film L'algoritmo, winner of the section dedicated to short films in the competition, will be screened, featuring Andrea Inserra, Vincenzo Puzziferri, Alessio Casini, and Alessandro Bartoli. Directed by Giuseppe Ferlito, screenplay by Giuseppe Ciarallo, produced by LuccAutori and Scuola di Cinema Immagina.

The Award:

This anthology publishes the twenty-five winning stories of the 2025 edition of the literary award Racconti nella Rete®. The award takes place annually on the website raccontinellarete.it and concludes in October in Lucca, as part of the literary festival LuccAutori®.

Founded in 2002 from an idea by Demetrio Brandi, the Racconti nella Rete® literary award has established itself as the most important national competition for emerging writers. The award is active throughout the year on its website and is supported by a series of anthology presentations in various Italian cities. This edition is rich in contributions from across the peninsula and reflects the growth that has taken place over time in this creative writing “workshop”: increasingly refined and diverse prose, more original themes, tones and styles, and narratives shaped by precise stylistic exercises.

These stories reflect an artistic intent that is progressively less amateur and increasingly oriented toward professionalism, to the point that the literary experience of Racconti nella Rete® can offer insight into a changing Italy—more cultured, more reflective. This year, the anthology is enriched by a cover illustration by Marilena Nardi.
