Vannacci, the military and the University of Trieste
The letter of Marco Orioles, journalist, sociologist and former teacher
Dear Director,
way back in 2005, when I was still embarking on my academic career, I was recruited by the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Trieste as a tutor in the context of an agreement with the Army General Staff aimed at launching officers to graduate, I imagine with the intention of facilitating their paths within the military hierarchies.
I would like to be more precise with you, but unfortunately I don't even have a document relating to my participation in teaching activities in Trieste despite having repeatedly requested this title from the secretariat of the Faculty of Political Sciences to formalize it within my Curriculum vitae .
Of that experience, therefore, only my memoirs remain, which are of friendly officers who presented to my attention theses that were not exactly excellent from an academic point of view, but in which those soldiers poured, in addition to their practical knowledge, that little passion that they developed into a rewarding experience like graduating.
I don't think I met General Roberto Vannacci, I would certainly have remembered him. But in the classrooms and corridors of the University of Trieste I have seen many people like him, bold, rampant, enthusiastic. They contacted me frequently, counting on my help in drafting the theses that I had the burden of transforming into a credible scientific product.
To be of more help to you, I promise to contact prof. Giovanni Delli Zotti , professor of Sociology at the University of Trieste, and my contact person for tutoring activities in the context of that agreement.
Sincerely
Marco Orioles
Journalist, sociologist, former professor at the universities of Udine and Verona
