“Come mai non ci sono monumenti dedicati alle vittime della spagnola?”. Storia e memoria di una pandemia

Abstract

Is it really possible to make an histoire du temps présent by analyzing an event like a global pandemic? What tools should the historian use to investigate the phenomena related to the spread of Covid-19? In a similar context, what is the role of the public historian? The historians Enrica Salvatori (Pisa), Alessandro Casellato (Venice), Roberto Bianchi (Florence) have tried to answer these questions.
