VARESE – Not just a literary festival: the third edition of “North in Yellow” wants to offer a broad and varied program suitable for different types of audiences. At the center of the initiative promoted by the Municipality of Varese there is always the mystery, noir and detective genre book, with 12 protagonist authors, but from here we start a journey that involves multiple worlds (in the video below the interview with councilor Laforgia).
Meetings with the authors
From May 17th to 19th There will be different ways to describe the north of the country, starting from the most classic one: meetings with the authors and their novels. It will be there Building of culture (Sala Montanari) in via dei Bersaglieri to host the events in its internal and external spaces, which will all be free to enter. We start on Friday 17th with Alessandro Berselli at 6pm, followed at 6.45pm by Stefano Cosmo and at 7.30pm from Piero Colaprico.

The invitation to the people of Varese
The event, which also has an outside festival (here is the complete program) therefore wants to address spectators of various ages, from children to adults, as was illustrated today, Thursday 9 May, during the presentation at Palazzo Estense. «In the show about Chiara we talk about a cold case that has links to Varese», said the culture councilor Enzo Laforgia. Gianandrea Redaelli spoke about the events dedicated to crime fiction for children, which will not be the usual book presentations but which will directly involve young spectators. «Kids like yellow and there are many important Italian authors. During the two meetings we will bring the mystery to life.”
