A rich program of events
Numerous events are scheduled to be held during the week dedicated to the festival in various locations that are symbols of Trieste culture, among these, for example, the unmissable meeting entitled “Of the need to cross borders“. The interesting event open to the public will be held on Saturday 18 May, at 5.30 pm, at the Antico Caffè San Marco. The theme of the border unites the narratives of two of the most important Italian writers of our years, Claudia Durastanti and Federica Manzon In their texts they write about borders and migrations, as well as the borders we impose on our bodies and the limits we need to cross to discover who we are. In this meeting they take us far, talking about their stories and their texts, to show us how crossing borders is often a necessity for all of us. Entry is free.
