On Christmas night 1930, in the Regina Coeli prison, a young chemist from Pavia from “Giustizia e Libertà”, Umberto Ceva, took his own life. He had been arrested in Milan, along with Ernesto Rossi and Ferruccio Parri: his death raised doubts and sparked an international campaign that accompanied the famous "trial of the intellectuals."
The meeting that will be held in Milan is dedicated to his story and to the history of his family, who lived between Milan, Pavia, the Oltrepo Pavese and Piedmont, between the end of the nineteenth century and the post-war period. Tuesday, April 14, at 21 p.m. The Cevas tell an exemplary story, a long and consistent testimony to the defense of freedom, democratic values, and anti-fascist commitment.
The protagonists of the evening are Fiorella Imprenti, historian of the contemporary age and author of the volume The Cevas. An anti-fascist and republican family. The lives of Bianca, Adele, Umberto, and Elena. (published by Viella in the National Women's Union series), Marina Tesoro, former professor of Contemporary History at the University of Pavia, and Sara Poma, podcast author, content manager for “Chora & Will Media”.
The initiative is included, subject to confirmation by the individual interested College member of the CCUM, in the recognized training activities and is accredited as part of the IUSS extra-class training activity.
