Literary works

With the exception of her translations and essays, Guia Risari’s writings are usually accompanied by illustrations created by different artists: for example, the colors of Elisa Macellari for ''Il decamerino'' or Cecco Mariniello for ''Pane e oro'' and ''La macchina di Celestino'', the collages of Marc Taeger for ''Achille il puntino'', or the pencil drawings of Arianna Floris for ''La porta di Anne''.

Children’s books and novels

In general, Guia Risari’s writings for children are part of the new Italian literary model of the 21st century, through which children are urged into active and critical reading, encouraged to re-elaborate reality in a creative way. The child protagonist in ''Pane e oro'', for example, manages to overcome her humble conditions with her imagination, with only the help of a piece of paper and a pencil. ''Achille il puntino'', also published in

'' by Bassani, Guia Risari also takes into consideration the literary testimony of the Holocaust. The literature of the Holocaust, through various phases from diaries to essays, poetry and stories, is transformed into an instrument of commemoration, interpretation and elaboration of the events and traumas. In Romanzo di Ferrara, Risari recognizes the complexity of a work that is “at the same time an historical narrative and a personal document”, in which Bassani is both a “reporter and witness, describing with increasing awareness the scene of a personal and collective trauma”, yet maintaining a calm tone. The emphasis of Bassani, in fact, is on the need to preserve the memory of an event, the Holocaust, which has stained a part of humanity, and not on the commiseration of the victims nor the cruelty of the tormentors: in other words, what counts is the right to exist of every living being. In ''The document within the walls'', written in

and Horkheimer; i.e. it is freed from being a pathological or unsound reaction. Améry makes public his resentment with no false modesty: “the fundamental insight of Améry consists precisely in having understood the complex ambivalence of resentment, which is the refusal of the present and, at the same time, an emotional and existential bond with the past”, a "multiform revolt of the soul, which makes it possible to save and revive the memory of the offence without obscuring the use of critical reason". The necessity of not forgetting is taken up again in the introductory essay by Guia Risari for the Italian edition of ''Le sang du ciel'' by Piotr Rawicz (translated by the same Risari), which reintroduces the double role of the writer as witness and narrator of the Holocaust, reasserting the importance of giving voice to the pain caused by others for no reason so that it will not be forgotten.
