The beech forest of Monte Cimino between reality and fiction
NewTuscia – SORIANONEL CIMINO -Sometimes real places inspire fantastic stories. This is the case of the beech forest of Monte Cimino, to which an entire chapter of the novel “In the heart of Tuscia” by Federica Bressan is dedicated. In love with the woods and Tuscia, Bressan combines the promotion of the novel with that of the territory, in Italy and abroad.
On Friday 24 May 2024 at 5.30 pm the author will be at the Municipal Library of Soriano nel Cimino together with the La Menica Alta Association to celebrate the Beech Forest, a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site. While the novel plays between the levels of reality and fantasy, the Association’s activity is entirely real: protection, environmental education and valorisation of beauty are the key words of the group of volunteers from Soriano: https://lamenicaalta.it/
The meeting will be an opportunity to learn more about the “real” Beech Forest and then immerse it in the poetry of the novel. A meeting in the Library that unites printed words with life and the land, a tribute to Tuscia as a “land to love and in which to fall in love”. The event will be introduced by the Deputy Mayor of Soriano, Rachele Chiani.
