Abstract: Roland Hill's biography, A Time Out of Joint, is a remarkable and moving personal story and much more: it enables readers to re-live European history during the darkest period of Nazi Germany and World War II, when traditional European culture and civilization generally seemed to be extinguished, but also to experience the return of peace and a time of hope. Roland Hill was born in Hamburg in 1920 to prosperity and culture -- his father was a sugar trader and his mother an opera singer. Both were of Jewish descent but had converted to Christianity. But the stable and tolerant world he was born into changed dramatically with Hitler's rise to power in 1933. The family moved to Prague, Vienna and Milan. Austria became Hill's spiritual home where he was received into the Roman Catholic church -- a move which decisively shaped his life - and where he started his journalistic career. Nazi persecution scattered the family and he sought refuge in Britain, totally alone and with only a £5 note, classed simply as a ""Refugee from Nazi Persecution"". Roland Hill survived the European maelstrom to take a full part in Europe's resurgence and his moving story, full of drama and atmosphere - and based on a unique gift for friendship -- vividly evokes the highs and lows of his remarkable life.

#339110 Arte Scultura
A cura di Matteo Gardonio. Trento, Scripta - Comunicazione Editoria 2020, cm.15x21, pp.130, (20) illustrazioni in bianco e nero. brossura con bandelle e copertina figurata a colori. La pubblicazione degli appunti e preventivi dello scultore Riccardo Piter (1899-1976) ci offre uno spaccato della Milano tra la Grande Guerra e la ricostruzione, con un tessuto sociale e industriale di grande fermento; un artista, infatti, legato soprattutto a committenze di carattere privato, non poteva di certo schierarsi per partito preso e, in particolare, chi eseguiva monumenti sepolcrali come lo scultore avianese, si trovava a onorare la memoria del proprio caro da parte di chi glielo chiedeva. Drammi e tragedie di vite vissute in quegli anni, venivano scolpite nella pietra e nel bronzo dallo scalpello di uno dei più prolifici autori dell'epoca.
