Storia e attualità della letteratura di impegno sociale e civile di Renée Reggiani

The purpose of this contribution is to look at two realistic books by Renée Reggiani (1925–2019), an Italian author who published children's literature in the 1960s. In these two novels, Il treno del sole (1962) and Domani dopodomani (1964), the author tells the story of Italy's great migratory movement, the dreams of redemption (also) for women, the right to education and training as tools of liberation and regeneration, and invites young people to take the initiative.
