May 10, 2019 – May 10, 2025. Looking back, I can hardly believe it. Six years have passed since Blogalmente was born, a project born from the desire – perhaps the need – to tell and listen, to give voice to stories that deserved their own space.

E grazie a loro, oggi viviamo in una democrazia. Ma cosa significa davvero essere liberi?

The figure of the father has crossed the centuries and cultures with a multiplicity of meanings, transforming and adapting to the needs of society. Yet, beyond conventions and eras, fatherhood retains a profound essence, rooted in responsibility, love and sacrifice. In the Christian context, Saint Joseph embodies the archetype of the silent, strong and present father, whose very existence becomes an act of faith. Various philosophical and theological texts describe him as the one who gave the go-ahead to the eternal salvation of man

The past is a precious source of teachings, but only if we are willing to remember. This principle applies to every area of life, but becomes essential when it comes to human tragedies that have profoundly affected our history, such as the Shoah. Remembering is not only a moral duty, but a collective responsibility to build a more aware and just future.
