From 18th to 23rd June, Lamezia Terme (CZ) will host the 13th edition of “Trame”, the Festival of books on the mafia promoted by the Trame ETS Foundation and the Antiracket Lamezia Onlus Association. This year the theme, borrowed from a 1989 work by Leonardo Sciacia, will be: “For future reference”. Six days of presentations, meetings and debates with writers, journalists, magistrates, politicians, scholars and civil society activists. The aim of the festival, explains a presentation note for the initiative released yesterday, is to “keep attention high on the connivances, infiltrations and silences that allow the mafias to persist in their control over spaces, consensus and power”. In fact, the Festival addresses “issues linked to crimes, the administration of justice and organized crime, carrying forward the anti-mafia debate and its values”.
«This year Trame returns to its strong identity theme», he declared Giovanni Tizian (artistic director of Trame Festival: «Memory, remembrance, the battles for freedom, the resistance to the mafias in the territories, the stories of the victims and those who have been forgotten. But it will also be the moment to reflect on the present, on the state of the fight against the mafias and on the wars that are upending the world. As every year, Trame aims to be an open space for dialogue, discussion and discussion to orient ourselves in the future, with the tools of the knowledge of the history that preceded us”.
«This year too the Festival will have many new features and new traveling companions», he added Nuccio Iovene (president of the Trame Foundation), «who will join those who have worked with us over these thirteen years. There will be associations involved in the fight against mafias throughout Italy, institutional representatives and many partners who have chosen to support our work. A festival full of surprises: we look forward to seeing you in Lamezia.”
