What really happened during the dramatic days of July 2001? This book doesn't seek answers in geopolitical analyses or academic essays, but finds them in the vivid and poignant memories of someone who was only 11 years old at the time. "The Diary of a G8 Child" is the story of a journey that began with a school backpack and a pine cone as a lucky charm, leaving a gray city in Lombardy for a Genoa transformed into a "hell" of gasoline and tear gas.
The author, now thirty-six, evokes the taste of adolescent anger, the deafening sound of helicopters in the sky, and the images of an Italy "in motion," made of flags, colors, and hopes. From breakfast in the kitchen with his mother, an "engineer of organized thought," to the charges on Corso Italia and the trauma of Piazza Alimonda, the text offers the perspective of a generation that discovered the violence of the state and the complexity of the adult world through the glass of a train or the smoke of the alleys.
A self-produced work that questions the meaning of memory and the need to tell the story of those who, in 2001, learned too early to distinguish good from evil amid the screams and streets of a city under siege.
