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

This weekend, the 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)

The enthusiasm of a vibrant people. Talking about God amongst friends whilst eating piadina and kebabs, admiring the ‘Ecce homo’, visiting exhibitions and listening to the Pope. The profound meaning of the Rimini Meeting, which is neither a political rally nor a retreat – by Matteo Matzuzzi

Mazzini blues. The Roman neighbourhood has lost its Rai headquarters. The historic Residence Prati is also up for sale: residents have ranged from Fellini to Zalone – by Michele Masneri

‘Woke’: this is the catalogue. ‘It was a joke,’ they say. Certainly not for those who have been vilified and marginalised. A brief round-up of the follies of political correctness – by Pierluigi Battista 

Being settlers. You won’t find them in high society; they do not turn the other cheek, and they are the harbingers of what we do not want to see. What lies behind Israel’s front line – by Giulio Meotti

Neo-Nazis attack the Bauhaus. “Cosmopolitan and stateless”. This is how the school became a target for the AfD, which threatens artistic freedom – by Paolo Valentino

The pastures of Siena. The city wants its Monte; right and left unite in the battle for independence. The hypocrisy (and vested interests) behind municipalism – by Stefano Cingolani

For a grain of sand. It seems ordinary and inexhaustible, but today it is the second most consumed (and contested) natural resource in the world – by Enrico Cicchetti

Chilling
statistics. The 19th century: a time of famine and cholera. What life was like after Garibaldi, Cavour and the Thousand. Far from glorious and fabulous times. A unified Italy wanted to understand itself better and discovered a disaster: a country that was poor, sick and plagued by infant mortality – by Roberto Volpi

The Fairies of Scylla. The Bridge over the Strait put to the test of myth. Optical illusions, violence and beauty, D’Arrigo and Consolo, and Giulio Ferroni’s “Panegyric” – by Francesco Palmieri

Hollywood’s
final flames. The inexorable decline of Marilyn and other fading stars in “The Misfits”. Legends from a ghostly film set – by Francesca d’Aloja
