The Sistema Bibliotecario Sud Ovest Bresciano’s Festival, which this year reaches its 19th edition, presents a rich programme dedicated to the pleasure of discovering – or rediscovering – books and their authors.

Special places, which serve as an ideal stage setting for the readings and the music that accompanies them.

The leitmotif of this edition will be “The shape of beauty”: beauty, in all its forms, is a gift to be preserved and cultivated.

Meetings with the author and readings with live music offering the public different ways of involvement.

On Friday 21st October, at 9.00 p.m. at “Palazzo della Cultura” Auditorium in Cellatica, the meeting “Specchio specchio delle mie trame…” will take place, with readings by Emanuela Troncana accompanied on guitar and song by Angela Kinczly:

“I am not cruel, I am only truthful – the eye of a little god, square” reads Sylvia Plath. The theme of the mirror, which so often returns in literature, prompts us to question the beauty of the body, between dreams and sorrows, fears and irony. To be, perhaps, a little freer”.

Free Admission; booking is recommended by e-mail
