Book Club Boristene

On June 18, we hosted the Book Club at The Mill together with Corriere della Sera journalist Marta Serafini. ‍ Following the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, Marta travelled to Ukraine, where she reported on the war through her on-the-ground coverage. ‍ Over the past few years, her work has gone beyond journalism and resulted in the publication of her book «Brevissima storia del conflitto tra Russia e Ucraina. Dal 2014 a oggi».
