With the presentation in the “Italo Falcomatà” chandeliers’ salon of Palazzo San Giorgio of the book “We are narrow” of the “Strattese collective”, stories of the seventeen Calabrian and Sicilian writers, published by Città del Sole and curated by Eleonora I write And Tiziana Calabrò, The initiatives planned by the municipal administration on the occasion of the “International Women’s Day.
The mayor were present at the event Giuseppe Falcomatà and the councilor for the conscious city, with delegation to equal opportunities, Anna Briante.
“These days – said the mayor Falcomatà – must be a further opportunity to reflect on the many and the problems and shades that revolve around the female universe. It is nice to conclude the initiatives with this cultural event, at Palazzo San Giorgio who is becoming the natural house of citizens who want to form and spend a few hours in the name of cultural contamination. I thank the authors of “We are narrow” and the Reggina publishing house “City of the Sun”, because there was a need for this new gaze that would tell the contrasting emotions that arouses our Strait, a look and a female sensitivity, which did it in a way not in accordance with the stereotypes that usually revolve around the strait “.
Hence the announcement of the first metropolitan citizen. “Considered all the cultural ferment also with respect to the world of publishing, to everything that revolves around culture – explained Falcomatà – I believe that The times to create a “Mediterranean Festival of literature” in our city are maturewhich maintains this sense of centrality since we find ourselves in the heart of the Mediterranean and that can develop themes such as those that are treated today, in terms of poetry, narrative and journalism, and all literary arts. It is more than an idea, it is something we are already working on and the first edition could see the light already this summer, continuing to involve the associative realities that in these years, in particular in the last few weeks, have shown an extraordinary and selfless love for the city “.
The literary reading of the anthology and the interventions of the authors, with the moderation from the Briante councilor, involved and intrigued the audience of the chandeliers’ salon.
“We close these events planned for International Women’s Day in the best way, because being here to tell this beautiful editorial experience, made by a Calabrian and Sicilian poet and 17 poets and writers and writers is one of the most engaging things made in our territory in recent years” said Briante.
