Keywords: oral history; methods; contents and form analysis

Summary/Abstract: he transcription of a life-story, even if it is spectacular and well articulated and argued, should be appreciated as a stage of the oral history research but the story only preserves memories and sentiments and it isn’t able to connect them to the official history in order to invest the story with reliefs and unprecedented meanings. The research in oral history isn’t a facile approach in contemporary studies: it takes shape as a complex demarche in process which requires a solid training and a rigorous methodology on behalf of researchers, cleverness in communication and analysis, and high levels of tact and carefulness.
