“Il Filo della Scelta”: a new audiovisual series exploring European stories of diversity, resilience and dialogue
The European Heritage Label is proud to share a new audiovisual series developed by two of our Italian EHL Sites, the Fondazione Museo Storico del Trentino (Fort Cadine) and the Fondazione Trentina Alcide De Gasperi (Museo Casa Alcide De Gasperi), exploring the legacy of Europe’s founding figures through the voices of today.
At a moment when the idea of Europe is being reexamined and challenged, the series revisits the lives of those who laid the foundations of European integration — including Alcide De Gasperi, Robert Schuman, Konrad Adenauer, and Altiero Spinelli — while shining a light on equally inspiring but lesser-known figures such as Václav Havel, Louise Weiss, and Giannantonio Manci.
Each episode connects these historical voices with twelve contemporary thinkers. Among them Patrick Zaki, Daria de Pretis, Andrea Pennacchi, Paolo Pierobon, Marianella Sclavi, Archbishop Lauro Tisi, and Diana Anselmo, who reflect on Europe’s most pressing challenges, from civil rights and climate change to education, healthcare, and identity.
Through these intergenerational dialogues, “Il filo della scelta – The Thread of Choice” portrays Europe not only as a political project, but as an ongoing act of collective choice and responsibility.
