Marcello Carmagnani. Uno storico tra due mondi

[Machine translation] Marcello Carmagnani was one of the most important personalities in the international debate on Latin America and on the economic, social, cultural and political history of the Atlantic space. Born in 1940, until his death in February 2025, he played an extraordinarily important role in establishing contacts between the world of Latin American research and European historiography. Like few others, Marcello Carmagnani has embodied throughout his existence the ideal of the historian as a bridge between different eras and between apparently distant academic and cultural worlds. The essays collected here were written by the people who were closest to him during his life and therefore allow us to approach Carmagnani's historiographical work with full awareness of the context in which it was formed and of the cognitive challenges he faced with courage and a sense of complexity. It is therefore a volume that represents both an act of homage due to a cosmopolitan, creative and profoundly original historian, and an incentive to continue his research directions in the future.
