“I am happy to organize a book review in Carrara, a city with so much potential – he says Cinzia Monteverdi, president and CEO of Seif – In addition to the tourist wonders, nestled as it is between the sea and the Alps, I think the city also has a very lively cultural fabric. For this reason we would like to be included in the city’s cultural initiatives with a fixed appointment. This year the exhibition will be dedicated to the titles of our publishing house, but the intention is to extend it to other publishers and create a sort of all-Apuan book fair”.
“For Carrara – he says the mayor of Carrara Serena Arrighi – it is a great pleasure to host this event, I thank everyone Daily fact and in particular Cinzia Monteverdi for choosing our city. It is undoubtedly a high-level event that we hope will become a regular event for the Carrara summer. Carrara has always been a city of culture, but it is also an open city, a city of discussion and dialogue and for this reason I am certain that it is the perfect place for an event like Paper Fest”.
