La chiamavano “la Gran Dama del Mare”. Era uno dei simboli della rinascita italiana dopo la rovina della Seconda guerra mondiale. Il fiore all’occhiello della neonata marina mercantile; il più lussuoso e raffinato dei transatlantici; una nave magnifica che, seguendo quella che chiamavano “la rotta del sole”, trasportava migliaia di passeggeri da New York al Bel Paese: il gotha degli anni ’50, dalla politica alla cultura, dalla finanza allo spettacolo, per raggiungere l’Italia, viaggiava così. Fino a quando, in una tragica notte di nebbia, il 25 luglio 1956, al largo delle coste nordamericane, tutto cambiò, per sempre… È accaduto sessantasei anni fa. E, come per la tragedia della Costa Concordia, un errore umano è all’origine di tutto. Ma le dinamiche della tragedia, la sua dimensione internazionale, il contesto storico, politico, economico, e le singole responsabilità, sono ben diverse. E, forse, lasciano un fondo ancora più amaro. Di ingiustizia, di rassegnazione, di rimpianto.
