For many, Europe represents a pact of alliance — or better yet, kinship — built in the last century as we emerged from one of the darkest chapters in human history. But what remains today of the idea of Europe in this Finimondo? We’ll try to unpack it with a critical and thoughtful lens, guided by Luca Misculin, journalist and host of a weekly podcast dedicated to Europe.
Joining him is Senza Rossetto, an editorial project born to reflect on the role of women in society and public discourse. With their sharp focus on gender issues and cultural shifts, they’ll offer an original, intersectional perspective on European identity — and on those who are left at its margins.
Bio
Luca Misculin is an Italian journalist born in Milan with a degree in Classical Literature. Since 2013, he has been a contributor to Il Post, where he primarily covers European affairs and migration. He is the author of the podcast La nave, which documents life aboard the Geo Barents rescue ship operated by Doctors Without Borders, and L’invasione, which explores the spread of Indo-European languages across Europe. He also hosts Morning Weekend, a weekly roundup of European news through the lens of the continent’s press. His latest book, Mare Aperto, published by Einaudi, recounts the thousand-year history of the Mediterranean Sea.
Giulia Cuter and Giulia Perona are the creators of Senza rossetto, a podcast and newsletter focused on gender equality and feminism. Launched in 2016 to mark the anniversary of the first political vote for Italian women, the project has, for nearly a decade, gathered contributions from some of the most prominent writers, intellectuals, and activists in the Italian cultural landscape. In 2020, they published the essay Le ragazze stanno bene (HarperCollins Italia).
