Bologna, 1 June 2024 – It will also pass by Bologna the Strega Touror the tour of Italy and beyond that brings the public to meet the 2024 finalists of the prestigious literary prize. The news will be given on 5 June and then on the 18th at 6pm, when the stage will be at the Oratorio San Filippo Neri, the writers who will compete for the coveted Strega prize will be seen ‘live’, presented by Agnese Pinidirector of QN, la Nazione, Il Giorno, Il Resto del Carlino, the teacher Marco Antonio Bazzocchi And Stefano Petrocchi, director of the Bellonci Foundation and secretary of the recognition steering committee.
A very significant appointment with books, made possible by Romano Montroni, cultural project consultant for Coop Alleanza 3.0 and historic point of reference for the cultural and editorial life of Bologna. Books are his life, he understands them immediately, he just needs to read the first pages, the last chapter, go through his heart and he will be able to predict the present and future of a new publishing adventure.
And with this spirit he tackles many readings, so much so that one of his small prides is that of being able to present ‘The Voices of Books’ in the review, which in the month of June offers ten meetings in Salaborsa, even books “so small that it would be difficult to discover them.” Specifically ‘Like the breath of the wind’, the true story of the Wildlife Protection Center of Monte Adone by Elisa Berti, which will be presented on 21 June.
Appointments start on Tuesday 4 June with Luciano Canfora which presents ‘Fascism has never died’ – Walter Tega intervenes – in which he addresses the cyclical resurgence of a self-consoling theory according to which “fascism ended on a precise day 79 years ago. For those familiar with the long times of story, this appears, however, without excessive mental effort, as nonsense”, says the author.
Of note (but not all) is the appointment on Wednesday 5 June when it is presented by Michele Ramous Fabj, Alberto Bertoni and Giovanni Infelise Mario Ramous’s book ‘Unpublished poems 1946-1972’ published by Pendragon, 7 Maria Grazia Calandrone converse with Susanna Zaccaria on his book ‘Magnificent and terrible was love’ and on the 12th in San Filippo Neri Gigi Riva presents ‘Ingordigia. Life, death and scams of the VIP broker with the participation of Stefano Bonaccini.
This busy month of events ends with ‘The Unicorn. Rise and fall of the start-up that wanted to save the world from plastic’ by Madonia and Rotondi scheduled for 25 June and immediately after 27 June with ‘Book of anxiety’ by Alberto Bertoni. The presentations are also live streaming on the Bologna Biblioteche YouTube channel.
