Explanation:
I am translating "didattica" as "scholarly". It is not the literal meaning, but I think this is what the author means. He/she seems to contrast the detailed and rigorous description of the events with the reconstructed (presumably less rigorously documented) parts ("parti sceneggiate").

neutral  jimdavis: told or even narrated or recounted, but not related. History is a story which is told

neutral  Lara Barnett: Absolutely not used in UK anyway (i.e. Related). / Could maybe be used in rarest of cases for emphasis, but would only be used after a more common synonym had established the context, but never in past tense - weird as it sounds - and not in this context.
