The aim of this paper is to place the first period of Leonardo Sciascia's literary activity, between the 1950s and the 1960s, within a unitary framework which finds one of its main features in the dialogue established with hispanidad, with contemporary history and with Hispanic literary culture. Through the references to George Orwell's and Federico García Lorca's literary works, to Unamuno's thought and Vittorio Bodini's activity as translator and cultural mediator between Italy and Spain, a Hispanic constellation of texts and suggestions takes shape, nourishing both the civil and the literary profile of the Sicilian writer.

The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us that every educational institution has a duty to value more than outdoor activities and artistic and cultural heritage. In fact, at times of lock-down they have been missed by students and teachers alike. However, it is risk management that holds teachers back from implementing non-indoor activities (and always staying inside the school walls). This paper proposes an examination of these issues, the purpose of which is to promote a culture of heritage capitalization that has the school as one of its most active promoters.

On 13rd October 2016 the Chiostergi-Tuscher archive and library, originating from the heirs' house located in France (Saint-Cergues Les Voirons), was transferred to the Centro cooperativo mazziniano "Pensiero e Azione" in Senigallia. The paper reports about how this remarkable heritage of Chiostergi-Tuscher was retrieved and returned to Italy after thirty years. The collection includes correspondences, letters, diaries, documents, journals and papers, pictures, books, posters and other archival and bibliographic materials of great historical value to learn about the political, civic and cultural activities of Giuseppe Chiostergi (1899-1961), anti-fascist, member of the Italian Constituent Assembly and of Parliament, ambassador, pro-European and statesman, friend and correspondent to leading Italian and European personalities in the 20th century.
