Our take

AI-drafted

Nava's account of Eugenio Torelli Viollier and the founding of the Corriere della Sera works because he refuses to choose between biography and institutional history, letting the story of one restless, Risorgimento-shaped man double as the story of how Italy's most consequential newspaper came to exist almost by accident. The prose is spare rather than ornamental, and the novelization is disciplined: liberties are taken to keep momentum, not to invent convenient drama.
