Festivaletteratura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Festivaletteratura is a literacy fair, held in Mantua, Italy, since 1996. Its peculiar formula is to host five days of small-sized lectures by authors from all over the world. The lectures are hosted in historical places and squares, and during the five days of the fair there are about two hundred events. The low-profile style has in time attracted many big names of literature, along with Nobel Prize winners. The attendance to the events roughly matches the population of the city, so it is necessary to book tickets well in advance. In 2006 the fair will be celebrating its tenth edition.
