Uses and abuses of Holocaust Remembrance Day
by Ugo Volli
In a society lacking shared anniversaries, what is the true meaning of Holocaust Remembrance Day? On January 27th every year we celebrate it to remember Shoah, such a tragic event that changed and shaped humanity's history. But, year after year, the risk is to turn it into an abstract and overused tribute. Ugo Volli analyzes the meanings of this special day, enhancing its misinterpretations, hypocrisies, banalisations as far as negationism. Remembering can be freeing and meaningful if it is about seeing, rebuilding and commemorating the detailed mechanism of a story.

Why Walking Helps Us Think and Live Better
by Walter Orioli
Walking is an activity we often undervalue and underestimate, thinking of it just as a way of getting from one place to another. It’s time to reconsider it. How do you consciously walk? What’s the difference between walking from home to the office and hiking surrounded by trees? How do you process a trip after you’re back home, to be left with new feelings and creative ideas? All these questions can find an answer in Step by Step, the new guide to walking therapy by Walter Orioli. Because walking is not just physical: it involves feelings, thoughts and senses, and it’s time we bring back its spiritual dimension to have a better relationship with our body and the environment. The book features 4 different itineraries as told through the eyes and heart of the author: the Camino de Santiago, the Francigena Way, the St. Francis Way and the Wayfarer Path. Walking starts two different processes in our bodies: the organism is in motion and the muscles are toned, at the same time meditating comes easy and natural. This handbook helps you re-think walking as a simultaneous process for mind and body. The book suggests a three-steps approach to the experience of walking: how to prepare the trip before you take it; how to enjoy it to the fullest; and how to process the feelings that spring from a walk and turn them into art.

Symbols are the signs that reveal and perpetuate the unlimited universe in our world and in our common life. They reveal meanings beyond those obvious to the senses and to our rational sphere. They exist before we can imagine or think about them: like genes and DNA on the physical plane, symbols pre-exist us, they carry with them the original instructions of life. They exist in nature and we have then encoded them to express in perceptible and comprehensible forms the essential forces that structure existence since the beginning. They are a synthetic map of the motions of what we call energy.The Power of Symbols is a deck of 41 Oracles with guide book.

FictionOctober 2020Il Giglio Bianco di Stalingrado
The Great Air Battles
by Andrea Laprovitera, Luca Vergerio
The White Lily of Stalingrad is the first volume of a new series dedicated to the Great Air Battles of the past, but above all to the pilots who took part in them, their courage and self-sacrifice.

Also for this reason many of them were young, often barely twenty years old and with very little flying experience that they necessarily acquired while fighting. The White Lily of Stalingrad is centred on the exploits of a girl, barely twenty years old, ace of the Soviet Aviation and pilot of a fighter plane, the Yakovlev Yak-1. A volume not to be missed, of pure Adventure, in the style of Edizioni Segni d'Autore!

Pioneers, Queens, Adventurers, Seductresses and Warriors
by Maria Teresa Milano, Valentina Merzi
How many times have we heard about the women of the Bible? But do we really know them? This book sheds a light on them and shows how similar those figures can be to contemporary girls and women. The past holds fascinating stories, but those of women have often been forgotten or lost in time. The Untamable Women of the Bible blends religion and feminism, drawing the portraits of 25 rebellious and strong women; from the most famous, like Eve and Mary, to lesser-known characters, like Abigail and Micol.Each portrait is made up by three sections: scriptures and fiction intertwine to build the woman’s story, told in first person narration; then fun facts and references in pop culture complete it and show how contemporary their tales are, and how deeply arts and entertainment are constantly influenced by them. ^ For the first time, the most iconic female figures from the Bible have come together and tell us their stories, that make us rethink the whole Bible’s narration.^ The book features 6 «interludes» to further discover topics like The Song of Songs, Balaam’s Donkey, Violence Against Women in the Bible, God is a Woman and the chronology and geography of the stories.^ The very peculiar style by Valentina Merzi, minimal and clear, in blocks of color, still convey the woman’s spirit and her strength.
