Event #13
Lina Bolzoni
The art of reading between past and future
Nowadays technology keeps changing: the Internet and social media rapidly change our way of thinking and communicating. What is the future of reading? Is it really going to disappear, or will it assume new forms? The myths that modern world created come from the past: from Petrarch to Machiavelli, from Tasso to Montaigne, the act of reading is a personal encounter and dialogue with authors. The book becomes a body, a person; writer’s portraits help creating a sort of necromantic remembrance that is able to face death and to establish friendships over time. What will remain in the future of that miracle, as Proust said, that is able to create communication in the middle of loneliness? Bring the event Chiara Marchini and Alessia Muratore from Liceo Classico Parentucelli of Sarzana will read some extracts from classics.
