Next day 03/16/2019 will accompany us to the Guinovart Space of Agramunt in Vicenç Villatoro who will present his latest book: Massa Foc.

MASSA FOC, prize Carles Rahola essay 2018.

At the end of the fifteenth century, Florence of the Medici, rich and cultured, but also corrupt and violent, entered into crisis. Against her, two fascinating personalities stand up, which represent antagonistic projects. Savonarola proposes a holy integrism that will lead to the bonfires of vanities and an apotheosis of fire. Machiavelli defends the return to the civic and patriotic values of the old classical Republic.
Five hundred years later, when Europe lives in a similar situation, the attitudes of Savonarola and Machiavelli on the facts of the time can help us explain some of the keys to the present. To the point that some imaginary conversations between the two characters seem to speak now.
