Bassani is one of the great writers of the second half of the twentieth century. Everyone knew "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis," especially after the release of De Sica's film. Today, it risks being forgotten. The task and goal of this show is to reclaim the historical value and human complexity of this text. Historical value because it was one of the first Italian novels to talk about the Racial Laws of '38 and the deportation of Jews. A novel about the complexity of human relationships, because it's a novel about youth and its fragility and about love when it becomes impossible. It tells the story of love, friendship, and life plans of Jewish youth in Ferrara, perfectly integrated into city life, during their university years, while Italy allies with Germany and enters the war. The story, however, is happening outside the walls. Because Bassani inaugurates a framework, almost a genre, that would later be adopted by many other successful novels and films about the extermination of Jews, like Fred Ullman's "The Reunion." Because the tragedy is always in the background, almost crystallized. A story that dangerously oscillates on the fragile rope of the future, which is about to break and plunge the protagonists into tragedy.
