A varied proposal for book presentations starts on Wednesday 22 May in Moncalieri, from a portrait of the colonels’ Argentina entitled “Grand Hotel Coronda”: a total of five meetings with the author are scheduled, one per day until Monday 27 A marathon of events that take place at the Arduino civic library (via Cavour 31), are free to enter and are also available in live streaming by accessing the Facebook page @bibliomonc.
So let’s begin Wednesday 22 May (5.30 pm) with the collective work “Grand Hotel Coronda”, with the presence in the room of Augusto Saro, one of the authors, who survived the premeditated psycho-physical annihilation carried out in the infamous Coronda prison (Santa Fe, Argentina ) by the Argentine armed forces against the opponents of the military dictatorship imposed between 1974 and 1979 by General Videla.
Thursday 23 May Enrica Tesio, blogger and writer from Turin, guest of Arduino several times, intervenes. Her latest book “Smiles Don’t Make Noise” is a “tristallegra” Christmas story in which the protagonist, in a crowded social live broadcast, unleashes a collective psychodrama by declaring that Santa Claus does not exist. The event will be moderated by Valerio Vigliaturo, director of the InediTO-Colline Prize in Turin (5.30 pm).
The strong complicity between two women, united by a past full of shadows that come to light little by little, is at the center of the sanguine “The past is a dangerous place”, by Cinzia Rita Gaza and Patrizia Varetto. We talk about it with the authors Friday 24 Mayas part of the Writer’s Friday column (5.30 pm).
The event of Saturday 25 May It all revolves around one question: are we still able to understand how important democracy is? It is the provocation from which the in-depth work of “Nondemocracy” starts. The author Marco Barbaro conducts an analysis of the concept of democracy with important references to the current Italian context. Not a work of historical reconstruction, but a tool created to arouse interest and awareness on issues that concern us very closely. Dialogue with the author is Edoardo Massimo Fiammotto (10.30 am).
Monday 27 May Valeria De Cubellis finally proposes “Free for Constitution”, a volume she signed together with Margherita Madeo and Serena Riglietti (5.30 pm): 21 portraits of women who were part of the Constituent Assembly. Courageous lives of women who, meeting on the common ground of affirming the rights and equality of all, fought to carry forward and realize their dreams.
