Posted on 31. Oct, 2011 by admin in Archive, Culture, Events
One of the purposes of this wonderful festival is to celebrate the charm of reading: “Leggere è Volare” will take place in Siena and province from 4th to 20th November. The event comes to the 21st edition and is a meeting with the most prestigious Italian writers, and there will be also theatrical performances, movie previews and exhibitions, a gift for all-aged readers.
The main venue is the temporary structure “tendostruttura” at La Lizza gardens, that will host the Senese book publishers festival, a chance to discover books and authors less promoted by mass media, while we suggest some of others events: on saturday 5th November at 4:00 pm the new edition of “The Lion King” in 3D by Disney at cinema Metropolitan, wednesday 9th at 5:00 pm the meeting at La Lizza with Nanni Balestrini, writer, poet and visual artist, in activity since the Sixties, on saturday 12th at 11:00 am the introduction to a dvd about Futurism, directed by Luca Verdone, scheduled at the Artistic Senior High School Duccio di Buoninsegna, on monday 14th the movie “L’Ultimo Terrestre” by Gian Alfonso Pacinotti, renowned comics artist with the nickname Gipi, that will meet the audience at Teatro Politeama from 5:30 pm.
We suggest also the Spazio Caffè Ottocento, where the schedule includes a panel about costumes of the XIX century, presented by the costume designer, director and set designer Alessio Rosati, an important issue for Italian history. The aim of “Leggere è Volare” (“Reading is like Flying”) is show that read books isn’t boring, but a passion that can change you life and above all improve your lifestyle.
An holiday in Siena and province, on autumn, is a good pretext to join this initiatives and meet who believes in the power of words. The complete schedule can be consulted here: www.provincia.siena.it
