Saturday and Sunday in "Il Foglio". What’s in the weekend supplements

This weekend’s newspaper features a twelve-page cultural supplement. Here’s what you’ll find on newsstands (and you can also download it here from 10.30 pm on Friday) 

Beyond all reasonable doubt. What links Jason Arday to Sigfrido Ranucci, Cambridge to Pomezia? The reaction of the two offended worlds: if history undermines our faith, let’s change history. The prophecy that does not come true and Leon Festinger’s experiment – by Andrea Minuz

The other Matador. First an alphabetical guide and later a cult magazine, in Spain and beyond. Based on an idea by Alberto Anaut, who was seeking a space for his boundless curiosity – by Maria Pia Farinella

A haven for con artists. From Lavitola to Arday to the AI tycoons. Brilliant swindlers in a world that has become one big Cefalù Bistrò – by Michele Masneri

Spotlight on the horror. Americans knew little about the atomic bomb. They only learnt of Hiroshima a year later, from the pages of a one-off issue of "The New Yorker" – by Marco Bardazzi

Where aircraft carriers meet their end. The disasters of American carriers grappling with toilets (and more). Stories of wars that grow old and fester – by Siegmund Ginzberg

And
yet it moves. Ten years since the earthquake in central Italy. The wait, the reconstruction, the depopulation. And a resilience that says: there is life in the crater – by Nicoletta Tiliacos

The infamous
story of a nursery school. Built fifty years ago, abandoned, devastated, turned into a hideout for drug dealers, rebuilt, and still uninhabited today. A school in Palermo that doesn’t even have a name, is disliked by the Mafia and of no interest to the anti-Mafia movement – by Gery Palazzotto

All the president’s women. This is the White House. A catalogue of King Don’s favourites and those he has cast aside. From Kristi Noem to Pam Bondi, from Tulsi Gabbard to Karoline Leavitt. At the start of Trump’s second term, there were many of them – members of the old ‘Make America Great Again’ guard or young followers. All utterly loyal, but it wasn’t enough – by Stefano Cingolani

Requiem in Life. Peter Handke, aged 84, and a text that is an invitation to dance and play with death. Neither a monologue, nor a diary, nor a prayer – by Alessandra Iadicicco

The dark heart of jazz. From legends to forgotten geniuses, a century of African-American music. A chat with Nicola Gaeta, author of “Black Beauty” – by Vittorio Bongiorno
