| Description: | This is the website of the "Associazione Nazionale Sandro Pertini" (Sandro Pertini National Association), founded in 1995 in Florence. The Association is dedicated to the life and work of Sandro Pertini, Italian politician and president of the Italian Republic from 1978 to 1985. It aims to promote cultural activities bearing witness of Pertini's thought and values. The Association collaborates with the Filippo Turati Foundation, of which Pertini was president until his death. The site provides information on the Association's archive, library, museum and publications. Material preserved in the archive includes documents on: Pertini's exile in France; his partisan activity; proceedings of his trials and the PSI (Italian Socialist Party). The archive also holds Pertini's letters and transcripts of speeches and interviews. A photographic collection, audio and audiovisual recordings, as well as press clippings, related to Pertini's activities from 1968 to 1985 are also available. The Library holds a wide range of material about the Italian antifascist and the resistance movements. The Association's publications usually focus on: Pertini's role in Italian history; Pertini's thought and ideas; the political activity of the left-wing parties in Italy and Europe; the workers' movement. The site is well maintained and offers valuable material to students and scholars interested in contemporary Italian history and politics. In particular its interactive and multimedia section "Museo Virtuale" allows users to access online diverse materials about Pertini and people related to his life and work. Users can also find information on conferences, seminars, exhibitions and other cultural events, both national and international, promoted and organised by the Association. |
