This afternoon, at 7.00 pm, the literary review will start at Villa Fabbricotti Slightly with the presentation of Nicholas Lagioia and his novel The City of the LivingEinaudi, 2020.
Immediately warmly welcomed by critics and the literary world, the 2021 Lattes Grinzane Prize reconstructs the atrocious crime episode that actually took place in Rome on 4 March 2016, in which Manuel Foffo and Marco Prato tortured the twenty-three-year-old Luca Varani for hours, leading him to a slow and horrible death.
An investigative tool that has also become a podcast produced by Chora Media, the author will dialogue with the poet Viola Lo Moro on the universal motivations that lead men to commit brutal acts, giving vent to violence and the instinct to dominate.
Nicola Lagioia was born in Bari in 1973. Graduated in Law «because even laws are made of words organized in a coherent way», he began his journey in the world of books by collaborating with various publishing houses and writing screenplays and texts on commission. He won the LXIX edition of the Strega Prize with the novel The ferocitypublished by Einaudi in 2015 and was director of the Turin International Book Fair from 2017 to 2023. Selector of the Venice International Film Festival several times, he writes for various newspapers and is a Rai radio and host.
