He later wrote about this time in Diario Clandestino ( My Secret Diary). After the war, Guareschi returned to Italy and founded a weekly satirical magazine, in 1945. After Italy became a republic, he began to support. He criticized and satirized the in his magazine, famously drawing a Communist as a man with an extra, and coining a slogan that became very popular: ' Inside the voting booth God can see you, Stalin can't'. When the Communists were soundly defeated in the 1948 Italian elections, Guareschi did not put his pen down but criticized as well.In 1950, Candido published a satirical cartoon by poking fun at, President of the Republic. The President is at the Quirinal Palace, surrounded by, instead of the presidential guard of honour (the corazzieri), by giant bottles of wine, which Einaudi actually produced on his land in Dogliani.
Each bottle was labeled with the institutional logo. The cartoon was judged in Contempt of the President by a court of the time. Guareschi, as the director of the magazine, was held responsible and sentenced.In 1954 Guareschi was charged with after he had published two facsimile wartime letters from resistance leader and former Prime Minister requesting the to bomb the outskirts of in order to demoralize collaborators. The legitimacy of the letters was never established by the court, but after a two-month trial it found in favour of De Gasperi. Guareschi declined to appeal the verdict and spent 409 days in 's San Francesco jail, and another six months on probation at his home.His most famous comic creations are the books of short stories he wrote about the rivalry between, a stalwart Italian priest, and the equally hot-headed, the communist mayor of a village in the 'Little World' of a Valley town. These stories have many times been made into films, and television and radio programs; most notably in the series of films featuring as Don Camillo.By 1956 his health had deteriorated and he began to spend time in for health reasons. In 1957 he retired from the post of editor of Candido but remained a contributor.
At first glance, because the engaging fascination of history overshadows the actual reference to geometry, the focus of The Italian Piazza Transformed does not immediately seem to be the relationships between mathematics and architecture. I must therefore apologize to the author for the delay in suggesting her work for the book review section of the Nexus Network Journal, when the editor asked for my collaboration.

The book was still lying on my desk, among those waiting for a second careful reading, when I realized that it indeed deserved a presentation to our readership, because of its subtle approach to the study of the form while inquiring into the design of public spaces as a proper and innovative feature of Italian cities in the Communal Age, that is, the era of the independent comune, city-states, from the twelfth to the fifteenth century (Fig. Fig. 2Extracts from Areli Marina’s figs. 33, 34, 47 and 98, schemes that show the use of proportional systems based on the doubling of a square module in the elevation of the Baptistery of Parma, and how the same criterion relates the squares that define the plans of the two squaresThe first appendix, “On Measurement, Module and Geometry in Medieval Parma”, is a synthesis explaining why there is a lack of scientific evidence necessary to state a final interpretation of the metric “measure” in terms of numbers. For this reviewer, this Appendix was fundamental for understanding why Marina, who is so precise in her analysis, describes (geo)metric relations in reference to approximate measurements expressed in metres, and limits herself to looking for individual geometric relationships without seeking an overarching solution that would be confirmed by round measurements.In the case of the Duomo, the unit of measurement of reference is the Roman foot, which in Parma is the dimension of the bricks used in the square. Since as part of my own research I personally had carried out a survey, I am quite familiar with the measurements, and I was surprised by the author’s use of this approximation, in part because when my team and I had undertaken our survey, one of our goals was to find the modular matrix of the square.
