Qualcunoconcuicorrere is a blog that was created in a school of Florence in 2012 deriving from the idea of the professor Matteo Biagi and now managed by an editorial staff of 20 kids. The name is inspired by the homonymous novel by David Grossman, but it is also a metaphor of the importance of reading during the growth process. The editorial staff edited the book La fuga (Il Castoro, 2018). Marco Magnone is one of the authors of this book and collaborated with Fabio Geda in creating the saga Berlin (Mondadori).
