Libri per gli internati militari italiani durante la Seconda guerra mondiale

Abstract

In the context of a project (promoted by MAB Toscana) aimed at the subject indexing of Ernesto Rossi’s private papers, an unpublished document was discovered consisting of two lists of selected books to be distributed among Italian prisoners of war during WW II and a related note. It stresses the role of libraries and reading to foster civil consciousness. A team composed of archivists and librarians analyzed and commented the document from various viewpoints (historical, political, bibliographical).
