Viviana Mazza, author of L’America che verrà. Dopo Trump (The America to Come: After Trump), and James Fontanella-Khan, U.S. Finance Editor at the Financial Times, in conversation with Claudio Pagliara, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute of New York, will take Mazza’s book as their starting point to explore the direction in which the world’s leading superpower is heading.
In the book, published by Bompiani (September 2026), the Corriere della Sera correspondent portrays a deeply polarized country undergoing profound transformation, drawing on the voices of leading figures from American politics, culture, and society.
An exploration of the tensions shaping American democracy and the possible scenarios of the post-Trump era: the future of the MAGA movement, the Republican succession, the Democratic Party’s response, and, above all, the identity of an America once again at a crossroads.
