The Odyssey written by Virgil and Ulysses who becomes an explorer: 7 out of 10 Italians fail

An investigation by Libreriamo compares the memories of Italians with the Odes of Homer studied in school, highlighting widespread difficulties in understanding narrative texts among students, as noted by Invalsi surveys over the years. The study suggests that seven out of ten Italians were rejected, possibly indicating a lack of familiarity or comprehension of classical literature. This issue raises concerns about education quality and cultural literacy in Italy.
