"Annali.Reviews.Online" , VIII, 2025/2 - New Issue
The second issue of “Annali.Reviews.Online” of 2025 opens with a forum dedicated to Sergio Luzzatto’s Dolore e Furore. Una storia delle Brigate Rosse, reviewed by John Foot and Davide Serafino. The book provides an in-depth look at the city of Genoa — its streets, factories, neighborhoods, and schools — demonstrating how the urban and social environment shaped radicalism and violence. Luzzatto combines documentary research, interviews, and historical reflections, never shying away from the ethical and methodological questions concerning the role of the historian and the relationship between words and actions. In the Cross-Epochal, Early Modern History, and Contemporary History sections, reviews explore the complexities of past and present societies, covering topics such as religious dynamics, mobility, labor, infrastructure, and the unresolved issues of the 20th century, as well as new questions about the fate of war refugees.
