Description
We are thrilled to host this unmissable literary event featuring Massimo Franco, political columnist for Corriere della Sera, in conversation with John Hooper, Italy and Vatican correspondent for The Economist.
The discussion will focus on Massimo Franco’s new book, Il fantasma di Hammamet (The Ghost of Hammamet), published by Solferino.
Hammamet is the place Bettino Craxi chose to escape the trials of Mani Pulite: a villa in Tunisia on the "hill of jackals and snakes." But it is also a political metaphor for the end of Italy's First Republic and the unresolved remnants of that era. Revisiting this surreal chapter may seem like political archaeology, but it remains a pressing and contemporary issue. It raises questions about the primacy of politics and its relationship with the judiciary—conflicts that still resonate today.
The book provides a lens through which to retrace the decline and downfall of a party, the PSI (Italian Socialist Party), and especially the man who shaped it while attempting, in parallel, to reform Italy. It narrates the trajectory of one of the most powerful and controversial politicians in Italian history, brought down by bribery scandals.
