Our Purpose
"Storia dei Sordi. Everything About the World of Deafness" was conceived, established, and directed by Franco Zatini in 1980 (formerly known as "Documentation Service for the Deaf by F.Zatini"). For any corrections, suggestions, updates, or additions of biographical and historical information related to the deaf community, including supporting documentation, please write to: info@storiadeisordi.it
History serves as witness to the ages, light of truth, life of memory, and teacher of existence.

The value of history lies not in reading about the past, but in reading the future within it.

We must remember yesterday to build tomorrow properly.

Message to Storia dei Sordi
Dear Team,
During a television broadcast, I learned about the existence of Helen Keller, the remarkable American deafblind woman whose life journey seems extraordinary and perhaps unthinkable to many like myself who belong to the tribe of the "typically abled."
I searched for information on the web about Ms. Keller.
I discovered your website, where I found an excellent presentation about Helen, and was genuinely pleased to see how rich in content your site truly is.
History, notable figures, dedicated architecture, and so much more of extreme cultural and human interest.
I extend my warmest congratulations for the tremendously important contribution that your platform can offer and furthermore for the knowledge it can provide regarding the extraordinary abilities of many people living with this condition.
Thank you for your work, from which I will benefit abundantly.
