Professor Views Brancati's 'Piaceri' as Opportunity for Rediscovery

Matteo Di Gesù, a professor at the University of Palermo, described the choice of Brancati's 'I Piaceri' (The Pleasures) as a 'strange choice' for a school curriculum, but also an opportunity for students to rediscover a great author. He believes Brancati is not an obscure writer and that students will not face significant difficulties in understanding his work. Di Gesù's perspective suggests a potential challenge in curriculum selection but emphasizes the value of engaging with classic literature.

Educational curriculum choices, especially regarding literary works, reflect societal values and pedagogical approaches, and expert opinions on these choices are significant.
