From the living room to the palace: the history of television power in Mantua

On September 18, 2026, the city of Mantua will host a moment of profound historical reflection with the presentation of the book Dal salotto al palazzo. Storia del potere televisivo in Italia 1974-1994, by historian Mirco Dondi.

During the event, the author will be in conversation with journalist Fabrizio Binacchi to analyze Italy’s metamorphosis between the 1970s and 1990s. Through rigorous research and unpublished documents, Dondi explores how the rise of major private networks transformed not only the media landscape but the very foundations of the country’s political and social power. It is an opportunity to understand the dynamics of a subtle Americanization that redefined the habits and customs of Italian society.

This event is a must-attend for those wishing to delve into contemporary Italian history within the setting of Mantua, a city deeply connected to the value of culture and critical thought.
