Liberi, Oltre le Illusioni

Liberi, Oltre le Illusioni ("Free, Beyond Illusions") is an Italian cultural association that presents itself as a non-profit initiative dedicated to critical thinking, scientific dissemination and informed public debate. According to its own "Chi siamo" page, it was founded by a group of people from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds who share the conviction that knowledge and open confrontation are essential tools for a more aware society, free from prejudice and mystification. The association frames its mission against what it describes as an age of information overload and opinion polarisation, in which distinguishing facts from ideological narratives has become increasingly difficult. Its stated commitment is therefore to produce quality content grounded in verifiable data, rigorous analysis and a plurality of viewpoints. The organisation's activity is articulated mainly on three fronts. The first is video and digital content: it produces and distributes videos, podcasts and in-depth articles on economics, politics, history and related subjects. The second is public events, including conferences, presentations and local initiatives, some of which are announced on the website's events calendar. The third is community and membership activity, through which supporters can join the association, donate, participate in the 5x1000 tax donation scheme and engage with territorial groups. The website also hosts an online shop, a newsletter and a premium content area. Editorially, the site is organised into sections covering Italy and foreign affairs, economics, STEM, culture, history and philosophy, and law. It publishes recurring columns and features with names such as Ex-Kathedra, Opinioni, La Settimana Economica, OltreFrequenze, Oltre la Storia, XANADU, Storia della Germania, Messa a Fuoco, IN MEMORIAM and Storia dei Partiti Politici Italiani. A weekly economic review, La Settimana Economica, is a prominent recurring item, with issues numbered by year. The association also maintains a podcast and video offering, and a premium subscription tier. As an association, Liberi, Oltre le Illusioni has an internal governance structure that includes a statute, a code of ethics, a direttivo (board) and a consiglio scientifico (scientific council), as well as editorial teams (redazioni) and territorial groups. It describes its team as a heterogeneous group of professionals, researchers, communicators and volunteers. Public communications (comunicati) show the association taking positions on current affairs, including energy policy through its recurring "Stand Up For Nuclear" initiative, European defence, and international issues such as Ukraine. It has also stated its adherence to the "Keep Calm e Difenditi, Europa" manifesto for a stronger and more integrated European defence. The association is based in Italy and operates primarily in Italian, with content addressing both domestic and international themes. It is not a commercial company in the conventional sense but a non-profit cultural entity with a recognisable media brand, a membership base and a range of digital products and events. Its public identity combines independent journalism-style analysis with advocacy on selected scientific and geopolitical topics.

Liberi, Oltre le Illusioni is an Italian cultural association. Its own website describes it as "un'associazione culturale nata con l'obiettivo di promuovere il pensiero critico, la divulgazione scientifica e il dibattito pubblico informato" — a cultural association born with the aim of promoting critical thinking, scientific dissemination and informed public debate. The founding group is described as people from different professional and cultural backgrounds, united by the belief that knowledge and confrontation are essential tools for a more conscious society, free from prejudice and mystification. The available evidence does not specify a founding date or the names of founders. The association's stated mission responds to what it calls an era of information overload and polarisation, in which facts are increasingly difficult to distinguish from ideological narratives. Its response is the production of quality content based on verifiable data, rigorous analysis and a plurality of viewpoints, intended to stimulate critical thinking and offer useful keys to interpreting the complexity of the contemporary world. Its activity is organised on three main fronts: video and digital content (videos, podcasts and in-depth articles on economics, politics, history and other themes); public events; and community engagement through membership, donations, the 5x1000 scheme and territorial groups. The website's navigation reflects this structure, with sections for Chi Siamo (About Us), La nostra storia (Our History), Redazioni (Editorial Teams), Consiglio scientifico (Scientific Council), Gruppi territoriali (Territorial Groups) and Comunicati (Press Releases), alongside an Associazione area containing the Statute, Code of Ethics, Board (Comitato direttivo) and reports. Editorially, the association has built a recognisable media brand. Its content is divided into Italy and foreign affairs, economics, STEM, culture, history and philosophy, and law. Recurring columns and features include Ex-Kathedra, Opinioni, La Settimana Economica, OltreFrequenze, Oltre la Storia, XANADU, Storia della Germania, Messa a Fuoco, IN MEMORIAM and Storia dei Partiti Politici Italiani. La Settimana Economica is a weekly economic review, with issues numbered by year (for example, n. 38/2026 and n. 39/2026 in the evidence). The site also offers podcasts, video, a premium area, a newsletter, an events calendar and an online shop. Public communications show the association engaging with current affairs. It has organised recurring editions of "Stand Up For Nuclear" — the eighth edition is announced for 1 September 2026 under the slogan "Zero emissioni, infinite ambizioni - il nucleare per le prossime generazioni" — and the seventh edition was dated 3 September 2025. It has issued statements on European defence, adhering to the "Keep Calm e Difenditi, Europa" manifesto for a strong and integrated European defence (1 May 2025). It has also commented on international events, including a statement on 22 December 2025 about liberal parties and students being attacked during a flash mob at a pro-Russian event, and a clarification on 13 June 2026 regarding a fundraising project for a monument to Italian fallen in Ukraine. On 7 March (year not specified in the evidence) it announced the withdrawal of its adherence to a demonstration promoted by Michele Serra. On 1 June 2026 it expressed full solidarity with Massimiliano Coccia. The association also maintains a scientific council and editorial teams, and describes its team as a continuously evolving group of professionals, researchers, communicators and volunteers. It invites supporters to join, donate, contribute content and collaborate. As of the evidence, the association is active and publishes regularly, with content dated into 2026.
