Maintain high attention on connivances, infiltrations and silences that allow the mafias to persist in their control over spaces, consensus and power
This will be the objective of “A futuro memoria”, the thirteenth edition of Plots. Festival of books on mafias scheduled in Lamezia Terme from 18 to 23 June 2024.
“On certain crimes, on certain administration of justice and on the mafia”: Leonardo Sciascia wrote about it in “A futuro memoria (if memory has a future)”, a book published by Bompiani in 1989. The new edition of the festival is in this wake, which aims to address issues related to crimes, the administration of justice and organized crime, carrying forward the anti-mafia debate and its values. During the six days of the event, in Lamezia, writers, journalists, magistrates, politicians, scholars and members of the civil community will have the opportunity to express themselves and denounce these phenomena.
“This year Trame returns to one of its strong identity themes: 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 a time to reflect on the present, on the state of the fight against the mafias and on the wars that are turning the world upside down. Like every year, Trame aims to be an open space for dialogue, discussion and discussion. To orient ourselves in the future, with the tools of knowledge of the history that preceded us” declared the artistic director of Plots.FestivalGiovanni Tizian.
“This year too the festival will have many new features and new traveling companions – added the President of the Trame Foundation Nuccio Iovene – 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 are waiting for you in Lamezia”.
For the second consecutive year Plots. Festival was selected by the Turin Book Fair as part of the “Luci sui festival” project, the initiative that promotes the main literary events of our country.
