Nonostante abbia provocato circa 600 mila morti in Italia, l’epidemia d’influenza spagnola che colpì tutto il mondo a partire dagli ultimi mesi della prima guerra mondiale è una delle pagine meno note della storia del Novecento. Attraverso documenti inediti conservati in diversi archivi nazionali ma anche grazie a memorie e giornali dell’epoca, il volume ripercorre per la prima volta in modo puntuale e dettagliato l’arrivo della “spagnola” in Italia e il suo impatto in un Paese che era ancora alle prese con i disagi del conflitto e sottoposto alla censura militare. Sono inoltre raccontati i provvedimenti adottati per arginare la pandemia, le polemiche, le discussioni sul “distanziamento sociale”, il dibattito sulle mascherine. È una storia di ieri che dialoga, inevitabilmente, con l’attualità. [Abstract translated by DeepL.com/Translator: This is the abstract in English… Despite it caused some 600,000 deaths in Italy, the Spanish flu epidemic that affected the whole world starting in the last months of World War I is one of the least known pages in the history of the twentieth century. Through unpublished documents preserved in various national archives but also thanks to memoirs and newspapers of the time, this volume traces for the first time in a timely and detailed manner the arrival of the "Spanish flu" in Italy and its impact in a country that was still grappling with the hardships of the conflict and subjected to military censorship. Also recounted are the measures taken to stem the pandemic, the controversies, the discussions on "social distancing," and the debate on masks. It is a story of yesterday that dialogues, inevitably, with current events.]
