Buchmesse, great anticipation for Baricco at the Arena of the Italian Pavilion

In the Italian Pavilion at the Buchmesse in Frankfurt there is great anticipation today for the arrival of Alessandro Baricco. At 3pm, in the Arena, the Turin writer will be the protagonist of the panel “Literature and civil commitment”. This afternoon, among the columns and porticoes created by the Stefano Boeri Interiors studio, a large audience is expected to participate in listening to one of the most famous and loved Italian authors abroad. The meeting at 3pm, as happened yesterday for Claudio Magris, will be introduced by the welcome address of the Extraordinary Commissioner for the participation of Italy as Guest of Honour, Mauro Mazza.

In the year of Italy at the Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Baricco’s presence coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Holden School and the masterpiece monologue “Novecento”.
