«BA Book is scheduled near the Turin book fair to allow the protagonists to also come to our festival, it is certainly something that we must look at and learn from – explains Manuela Maffioli – Rosanna Purchia and I share being councilors for culture , for better or for worse, and the thing that keeps us apart is the time and energy we dedicate to salons.”
The Small Theatre of Milan, where the Piedmontese councilor spent 33 years «has always had the theme of decentralization as its cornerstone and Busto was a fixed stop, together with Gallarate». Purchia underlined: «Busto has always been an elegant city, but this inclusive, salon-like regeneration is extremely fascinating. Furthermore, there is an explosion of culture12 festivals, cinema, theatre, music, literature, books and opera: nothing is missing. You feel like you’re in a metropolis on a human scale».
Finally, a brief assessment of the Book Fair from the Turin councilor: «It didn’t go well, even more so. There were 223 thousand people, we don’t know what more to aspire to.” Among the publishing houses, then, there were also “some of our scams”, underlined and concluded the deputy mayor Manuela Maffioli.
