Con la Costituzione nella valigia, tessendo legami di interdipendenza tra i popoli

Drawing on an evocative letter her grandfather wrote her in the mid-1950s, the Author dwells on the dangers of a looming new Cold War, which makes Calamandrei’s concerns in the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing, as well as his vote against the Atlantic Pact in the Italian Chamber of Deputies in 1949, highly topical. Despite his isolation, he strenuously defended a position of neutrality and weaved a dialogue, a network of communication among peoples, fostering their interdependence. His journeys to Mexico and particularly to China – a source of several publications on the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and the People’s Republic of China – fairly witness it.
