One of the immediate consequences of the revolution was the regaining of freedom of expression, which immediately manifested itself in the streets of cities: not only in the voices, choruses and slogans that accompanied the great demonstrations of the time, but also by occupying the surfaces of public space, with writings, murals and posters. On the other hand, the memory of the revolution and its ideals continues to creatively occupy the urban space of Lisbon and other cities.

Eugenio Lucotti (UL/Lisbon) will discuss these issues with Vanessa Castagna (Ca' Foscari University, Venice).

António de Oliveira Salazar's regime relied on a strict system of surveillance, repression and censorship, both on the press and on literary works and artistic manifestations in general. Even some Italian authors translated into Portuguese during the years of the regime ended up in the meshes of censorship, including some famous names such as Calvino, Pirandello or Soldati. Alessandra Trevisan (DSU/Univ. Ca‘ Foscari) will speak on this topic, in dialogue with in dialogo con Alice Girotto (DSLCC/Univ. Ca’ Foscari).
