«Così eravamo» is the short story collection by Francesco Guccini, published by Giunti Editore in paperback (192 pages, in Italian).
The book brings together five ironic and nostalgic stories in which Guccini recalls his childhood and youth: a boy who loses a classmate, a young man who starts working at a provincial newspaper, a night at the station, a musician performing in dance halls, and a military excursion. Set between the Apennines and Modena, the stories reflect Italy's transformation from the postwar period to the arrival of television, with details such as a red ashtray from a famous drink, viewed with melancholy and affection.
The full subtitle is «Giornalisti, orchestrali, ragazze allegre e altri persi per strada»; the volume belongs to the Scrittori Giunti collection and was published on 18 September 2024.
For readers of contemporary Italian fiction and short stories who want to approach the memory of postwar Italy.
