Go2025 and Pordenonelegge land
in Frankfurt: the European Capital of Culture, for the first
time shared between two nations, and the Foundation that
organizes the Pordenone book festival will join forces with the
Friuli Venezia Giulia Region to anticipate the event-filled 2025
in the setting of the Frankfurter Buchmesse. "The Italian
pavilion will dedicate a presentation event focused on the
comparison of cultures, in a new interpretation of the border
that is a hinge between the past and the European future," said
the region's vice president, Mario Anzil. "The regional
contribution to international literature, sanctioned by the
presence of great writers such as Claudio Magris, will act as a
bridge to a cultural renaissance of which Friuli Venezia Giulia
is an interpreter precisely by virtue of its experience as a
border region. We want 'border' to take on a new meaning, as a
place of opportunity and not of separation." Writers from
Friuli Venezia Giulia will include Claudio Magris, Susanna
Tamaro, Mauro Covacich and Paolo Rumiz, Chiara Carminati,
Pordenonelegge artistic director Gian Mario Villalta and artist
Lorenzo Mattotti. Friday, Oct. 18, at 11:30 a.m. "Crossing
borders: redefining the frontiers of publishing," with a
presentation on the regional publishing landscape. On Saturday,
Oct. 19, at the same venue from 5:30 p.m., "Friuli Venezia
Giulia, a place of words and stories," the second part of the
presentation of the regional publishing landscape, will be
discussed. Diego Marani will speak as the star of the panel and
winner of the fifth edition of the Friuli Venezia Giulia
Literary Prize "The Tale of Places and Time," promoted by the
Region and the Pordenonelegge.it Foundation. There are also
several events at the Frankfurter Buchmesse Fuori Salone: a
staging of texts by Claudio Magris from the short story
collection "Curved Time in Krems," the world premiere screening
of the documentary "Italo Svevo. Writing Hidden in Trieste,"
written and directed by director Alessandro Melazzini, and the
exhibition "Carlo Dalla Mura 1927-2022," curated by CRAF in
Spilimbergo.
