Tra l’odore dei registri bruciati’
Sui fatti del liceo scientifico Giordano Bruno di Mestre, gennaio-marzo 1978
abstract
Mestre 1978. At the peak of “anni di piombo”, an event of political violence, an arson attack on a high school principal, splits the school community and the city. The atmosphere, already warm, ignites. The conflict regards the crux of violence: the student movement condemns the attack but sets against the violence of the capitalist system; whereas school leadership and conservative parents and public opinion citizens invoke law and order and denounce obscure adult complicities, there’s who, union, teachers and progressive parents, tries hard to recognize the reasons and identify spaces for discussion between institutions and students.
