“Le Ossa dei Caprotti”: the difference between journalistic reporting and history

In my view, the difference between journalism, political non-fiction and history lies in the research, which, in the case of history, is much more in-depth and is based, first and foremost, on the study of documents and archives. But the added value of this book also lies in the contributions from people who worked for or were close to Esselunga, a company with a much broader entrepreneurial spirit than one might think

According to Google, Bernardo Caprotti has no children. And the Corriere della sera does not help

For Google, My mother Giorgina Venosta still does not exist and Wikipedia has deleted the page on Guido Venosta, creator of the Italian Association for Cancer Research. The picture is completed by the Corriere della Sera – national edition – which, for example, after deleting me in 2020, is one of the few Italian newspapers not to have reviewed my book, Le Ossa dei Caprotti
