To mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Liberation of Italy, the \u201cC.V. Lodovici\u201d Civic Library in Carrara decided to publish a \u201cDiary\u201d written by Banca Commerciale Italiana employee Augusto Ciaranfi (Pisa, 1898 \u2013 Carrara, 1968) between early summer 1944 and the immediate aftermath of the country\u2019s Liberation from Nazi-Fascism. With the original copy still kept at Carrara\u2019s Civic Library, the \u201cDiary\u201d gives us a closely observed, meticulous account of the eleven months of fear and hardship experienced by the local people, during which the author was still working as assistant manager of the Carrara branch, serving as its \u201clegendary\u201d manager from 1948 to 1963. The book was presented on 14 April 2005 at Carrara\u2019s Teatro degli Animosi theatre in the entrance hall. Banca Intesa contributed to the great success of the publication by opening its Historical Archives in Milan to the Manager of the Civic Library, Anna Pennisi, and drawing on the active support of the managers of the bank\u2019s Tuscany Area and Carrara branch, Giuseppe Pallotta and Andrea Pettinati.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":71830,"template":"","class_list":["post-186530","pubblication","type-pubblication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pubblication_category-other-publications"],"yoast_head":"\n
