The image as a weapon: Michele Smargiassi in Sirmione

On October 30th, the enchanting town of Sirmione will host a moment of profound intellectual reflection. At the Hotel Catullo, journalist and essayist Michele Smargiassi will guide the audience through a critical analysis of the role of images in the representation of catastrophes.

The meeting will focus on the trauma of September 11, 2001, examined not merely as a historical event, but as the founding moment of a new collective imagination. Smargiassi, a renowned expert in visual culture, will explore how photography and media language have been transformed into tools capable of shaping the perception of terror and security in our contemporary era. This event is an essential opportunity for those who wish to understand the delicate boundary between historical documentation and narrative construction.
