With Around the World in 80 Languages (Ponte alle Grazie), Veronica Repetti reveals the surprising and often bizarre characteristics of the world's languages, from African clicks to the "non-past" of Japanese, passing through the musical colors of Italian dialects. The book shows how words evolve, cross borders, and continually reinvent themselves, transforming language into a living and dynamic organism. A text that combines scientific rigor and narrative lightness to fall in love with language and communication. Interview with Roberto Martelli.
