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 Thursday 8th September, at 9 p.m. at the Rizzini Amphitheatre in Cazzago San Martino, the meeting “BAUDELAIRE – Alla ricerca della bellezza (In search of beauty)” will take place, with readings by Flora Zanetti accompanied by the guitar and singing of Piergiorgio Cinelli:

“An evening that retraces the figure of the great French poet through a journey through his life and work, in the extraordinary context of mid-19th century Paris, animated by extraordinary artists and intellectuals. The music that embellishes the story evokes, with notes and words, the fascinating lyrics of The Flowers of Evil’.

Free Admission; booking by e-mail or telephone on +39 030 7254371 is recommended.
