racCONTA LA MONTAGNA: the fourth edition has ended. Watch the recordings!

The fourth edition of racCONTA LA MONTAGNA, the literary review dedicated to non-fiction and fiction that highlights the cultural and evocative power of the mountains, ended on May 26th. Each work was presented in an afternoon meeting at UNIMONT, in a conversation between the author, 32 students and participants connected through the virtual classroom.

This year the event racCONTA LA MONTAGNA was once again a great success, involving students of the UNIMONT Undergraduate Course in Improvement and Protection of Mountain Environments in an interdisciplinary process of acquiring awareness of the resources of the mountains of Lombardy and Italy in general. The students, after careful reading and discussion of the book, conversed with the author in a participatory presentation.

Due to the pandemic in progress, the 2020/2021 edition took place entirely online through the Zoom platform and was disseminated through the Antenna network, i.e. a group of bodies, institutions, schools and universities that disseminate and stream the contents proposed by UNIMONT. All the meetings have been recorded and are available on-demand on the UNIMONT YouTube channel, within a dedicated playlist.

• 21 October 2020 Mia Sconosciuta by Marco Albino Ferrari
