the first European festival on creativity

2019 Programme

Event #27

Antonella Anedda Angioy, Alessandro Fo, Alessandro Zaccuri

The future of the word

Poetry is the future of the word, because it is a word that always looks to the future. This is stated by Alessandro Fo, who thanks to his skill as a philologist and poet has been able to make our contemporaries Virgil and Catullus, elaborating in the meantime a rigorous reflection on what it means to be human in the time of indifference. And on the word "future" Antonella Anedda questions herself in the final section of her latest collection, Historiae, which from the title declares its debt to Tacitus' conciseness and concreteness. Two of the most recognizable and important voices of current Italian literature in verse dialogue with each other in response to the requests of the writer Alessandro Zaccuri.
