  • "Svegliamoci italici! Manifesto per un futuro glocal", by Piero Bassetti, Marsilio Editore, february 2015. The book is a manifesto inviting the worldwide community of Italics to embrace this identity of theirs. We are talking about approximately 250 million people. Italicity is a shared way of feeling, a way of retaling of the world, of giving meaning to the world, and it could transform itself into an opportunity for Italics to play a new leading role in global history.
