Summary:The contributors to this volume approach the World Wars as complex and intertwined crossroads leading to the definition of a new European reality. While assessing the the way the memories of the two World Wars have been readjusted each time in relation to the evolving international historical setting and through various mediators of memory (cinema, literature, art and monuments), the various essays contribute to unveil a cultural panorama inhabited by contrasting memories.
