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 27th October, at 9.00 p.m. at ‘San Salvatore’ Auditorium in Rodengo Saiano, a meeting will take place with ‘MATTEO SAUDINO – La filosofia e il coraggio di pensare’ (MATTEO SAUDINO – Philosophy and the courage to think), who will dialogue with Paolo Festa:

“For twenty years a professor at Turin’s high schools, Matteo Saudino is certainly among the best-loved teachers in our country: his BarbaSophia is the largest YouTube channel of Philosophy and History lessons in Italy with more than 230,000 subscribers, making even the most refractory people love and understand the words of philosophy”.

Free Admission; booking by e-mailt or telephone on +39 0306810202 is recommended.
