Il Libro Possibile turns 19 years old
This year Il Libro Possibile reaches an important milestone, that is the ninenth year since its founding. It was in 2001 when four boys from the newly born Artes Cultural Association decided to give life to a very ambitious project: to bring the pleasure of reading in the streets, with the intent to share it with people. The boys used to make the reading available to everyone, moving the event to Castellana Grotte. Despite the initial difficulties, the festival arrives in Polignano a Mare between a lot of distrust and lack of interest on the part of the public, but it does not discourage the organizers who continue to propose the initiative without stopping. Their commitment and perseverance is rewarded and the Festival Il Libro Possibile become one of the most famous events of the Italian background.
Il Libro Possibile, four evenings full of culture and sharing
Il Libro Possibile in Polignano a Mare manages to attract hundreds of visitors every year and also for the new edition there is a large turnout. The event, directed by Rosella Santoro, is divided into four evenings in which, at the same time, in the most evocative points of Polignano there are meetings with intellectuals, personalities of the world of entertainment and politicians who have the opportunity to communicate with their audience. Debates discussing the latest editorial news, current cultural trends, the most discussed topics and how the editorial field is evolving.
Il libro possibile dedicated to "Time and Space Travelers"
Like every edition, Il libro possibile is dedicated to a specific theme. This time, it is "Time and Space travellers" that is the basis of the event, thought of as a new way to start again and come back to meet. A theme already chosen before the pandemic to celebrate the hundred years since the birth of Isaac Asimov, writer and scientist, quintessential narrator of the journey: from time travel to space, to the journey inside the human body. A theme that takes on a double meaning in the aftermath of the end of the lockdown. Throughout the event, for the third year in a row sponsored by Pirelli, a great contribution is made by the numerous volunteers who make their work available to the event, contributing greatly to the success of the event that becomes, therefore, a significant moment of aggregation and exchange of ideas.
