The school was founded to accommodate Ferrarese Jewish children expelled from their classes after the racial laws, and some of the city&#8217;s most famous anti-fascists taught in its classrooms.<br \/>\nWriter <strong>Giorgio Bassani<\/strong>; activist and future psychologist <strong>Matilde Bassani<\/strong>; and former boxer <strong>Primo Lampronti<\/strong>, a promising athlete, were some of the teachers who taught the few students the key concepts of the curriculum, along with ethical teachings of freedom, dignity, and democracy.<br \/>\nAfter class, the three shared a parallel activity: that of anti-fascists committed to countering and resisting the ever-growing wave of hatred.<br \/>\nThe tour will begin at the MEIS, the site of the former prison on Via Piangipane, where numerous anti-fascists (including Giorgio and Matilde Bassani) were imprisoned. It will then walk through the city, reconstructing the story of the three teachers. At each stop, a different guest will share a piece of the story: we will meet <strong>Anna Maria Quarzi<\/strong>, President of the Institute of Contemporary History and author of the famous interview with Matilde Bassani; <strong>Marcello Azzi<\/strong> of the Giorgio Bassani Foundation; and the <strong>students of the 5th N class of the A. Roiti High School in Ferrara<\/strong>, who have carefully and lovingly reconstructed the story of Primo Lampronti this school year.<br \/>\nThe walk is organized in collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary History and the Giorgio Bassani Foundation.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>FREE EVENT.
