Vajont, 1963: storia di una tragedia italiana

Nel terzo episodio del podcast Radici d’Italia, Alberto racconta uno degli eventi più tragici della storia italiana del Novecento: il disastro del Vajont.

La sera del 9 ottobre 1963 una gigantesca frana cadde nel bacino della Diga del Vajont, nelle Dolomiti. L’onda enorme che si sollevò superò la diga e distrusse diversi paesi della valle, tra cui Longarone, causando quasi 2.000 vittime.

In questo episodio scoprirai:
• cosa accadde davvero quella notte
• perché la tragedia poteva essere evitata
• le responsabilità umane dietro il disastro
• come il Vajont ha cambiato la coscienza civile in Italia

Questo podcast è pensato anche per studenti stranieri che vogliono imparare l’italiano attraverso la storia reale del Paese. Attraverso racconti chiari e coinvolgenti, Radici d’Italia ti aiuta a conoscere eventi, luoghi e memorie che hanno formato l’identità italiana.

Here, Anna shares fascinating stories about local traditions, overlooked towns, and cultural gems, making this portion accessible and enjoyable for anyone with a curiosity for Italy, regardless of their language level. It’s a two-fold journey: deepen your command of Italian through engaging content, and then satisfy your wanderlust by uncovering the stories most guidebooks miss.
