The social center the Garden and the Semmelweis Literary Circle are organizing reading meetings of novels set in the 20-year fascist period. There will be five reading meetings and they will be held, curated by Angelo Australi, every Thursday from June 8 until July 6 from 9:30 p.m. at Il Giardino Social Center.
The fourth meeting will be held on Thursday, June 29, and will feature a reading of the book "The Man from Camporosso" by Guido Seborga, with the reading by Angelo Australi. This novel, considered by critics to be one of the finest written in postwar Italy, was published for the first time in the series The Italian Medusa (Mondadori 1948), and more recently by the publisher Spom River (2004). The writer worked on it tirelessly from 1938 to 1945. The story is about of the coming to consciousness of Quinto, a longshoreman on the Piedmontese Ligurian Riviera, of the abuse and the oppression of the fascist regime, suffered amid personal dramas, loves, lacerations and loneliness.
All meetings are free of charge and are held in cooperation with the City of Figline and Incisa Valdarno.
