Settant’anni fa agli italiani arrivò un regalo inaspettato: la televisione. Quell’apparecchio – che pochi potevano comprare e quindi si vedeva tutti insieme – portò con sè altri doni: una lingua in comune, l’intrattenimento garantito, le informazioni da tutto il mondo. Una vera rivoluzione culturale e sociale di cui la Rai fu indiscussa protagonista. E ancora: i primi passi della Nato; i gemelli nel mito e nella società; la vita travagliata, e la morte misteriosa, di Andrea Palladio; quando, come e perché è nato il razzismo; la routine di bellezza delle antiche romane.
