        Traveling with Emma

        by Rita Remagnino

        Knowing that history has been written by victors for thousands of years, archaeologist Emma Bauer leaves from Genua to Kurdistan in search of the true story of the "fall of the angels", that is, the "devils" of the religious narrative. The elderly professor Mauro Biancardi watches over his footsteps, who suddenly dies, but perhaps not entirely. Paolo Ornesi, blogger and follower of conspiracy theories, and Ferdinando Lingiardi, a spirited hairdresser who interprets life as fun squared, join in the investigation, otherwise what a life it would be. The journey of the unlikely trio is followed discreetly by Giuliano Bellini, a plainclothes Marshal of Foreign Office, and in a nagging manner by the American Brian Collins, who declares himself to be very much in love with Emma Bauer. Some minor characters animate this surprising adventure full of twists and not without irony. A mix of religious spirit and joy of traveling is this novel published in 2018 and now ready for european loving of mistery.

        by Marco, Dal Corso (ed.)

        A hospitable practice needs hospitable thinking and a way of believing. If, before being a right, existing is a debt that is extinguished only by becoming hospitable people, theology is called to favour coexistence among people by overcoming even its own self-understanding, when this is an obstacle to dialogue, helping to live this great change, and learning to welcome the spiritual riches that are for all. This, to the point of making a public contribution at the service of human and spiritual growth of humanity. A research of great value for a hospitable belief, which gives a theological foundation to a new paradigm of welcome and which opens up concrete perspectives for the indispensable interreligious dialogue.
