Inspired by Chiara Piaggio's book “L’Africa non è così. Cronache da un continente frainteso”, this public discussion brought together Piaggio, Marco Aime (University of Genoa), and moderator Cristiana Peano (President of CISAO, University of Turin) to reflect on the stereotypes and dominant narratives that continue to shape perceptions of Africa, highlighting the complexity and diversity of the continent's contemporary realities.
