In Antonio Monda's latest book, La Città Nuda, the author made a selection of some of the hundreds of photographs he took with his iPhone on the City's subway and wrote a short story for each one of them. Each story is a tale of humanity that captures the soul of the author himself.

Diversi con Skianto

Carlo Di Stanislao

Politics Between Zen and the Swamp

Judith Harris

"We need a radical project if we are, all together, to drag ourselves out of the swamp," Matteo Renzi told the Partito Democratico (PD) executive today. "We cannot go forward in a situation of uncertainty." That uncertainty may be at an end.
