Francesco Zani, Gianni Gazzoli, Nicoletta Verna and Francesco Selvi are the authors who will present their books between July and August in Santa Sofia during the ‘Argini’ exhibition promoted by Sophia in libris and Archimedia with the support of Romagna Acque-Società delle Fonti and the patronage of the Municipality. “It is called Argini, like the barriers that contain rivers from the risk of overflowing. Defense systems – the organizers specify – that must be protected and monitored, so that episodes like those that occurred during the 2023 flood are never repeated. And they are a characteristic element of our valley, crossed by the Bidente river, from Santa Sofia to Forlì. Metaphorically we think that books have the same function, in defense of culture and memory, and that reading is a passion to be cultivated and supported at any age, so that we can live in a civilized and modern country”.
There will be three meetings in the Ermenegildo Corzani square with free admission. It begins on Thursday 4 July at 6:30 pm with Francesco Zani and Gianni Gozzoli, among the authors of the collection ‘Riemersi’ (Solferino) a volume edited by Matteo Cavezzali whose proceeds will go to the Romagna libraries most affected by the flood. The two authors will talk with Cecilia Locatelli.
On July 15th at 9 pm it will be the turn of Nicoletta Verna and her second novel ‘I giorni di vetro’ (Einaudi), a real dive into the history of Italy, from the Matteotti murder to the Liberation, set in Romagna and told through the point of view of two memorable female characters. In conversation with the author Corrado Ravaioli. The first cycle of meetings will close on August 20th with Francesco Selvi and his ‘Enrico e Giuliano’ (Baldini & Castoldi). It is the story of a couple of friends apparently inadequate to life, who are waiting for the right opportunity to turn things around. A chance will present itself to them but in an unexpected form. The author in conversation with Corrado Ravaioli.
