GO!2025 lands at Buchmesse with books and more

(ANSA) - PORDENONE, SEP 19 - Go2025 and Pordenonelegge land in Frankfurt: the European Capital of Culture, for the first time shared between two nations, and the Foundation that organizes the Pordenone book festival will join forces with the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region to anticipate the event-filled 2025 in the setting of the Frankfurter Buchmesse. "The Italian pavilion will dedicate a presentation event focused on the comparison of cultures, in a new interpretation of the border that is a hinge between the past and the European future," said the region's vice president, Mario Anzil. "The regional contribution to international literature, sanctioned by the presence of great writers such as Claudio Magris, will act as a bridge to a cultural renaissance of which Friuli Venezia Giulia is an interpreter precisely by virtue of its experience as a border region. We want 'border' to take on a new meaning, as a place of opportunity and not of separation." Writers from Friuli Venezia Giulia will include Claudio Magris, Susanna Tamaro, Mauro Covacich and Paolo Rumiz, Chiara Carminati, Pordenonelegge artistic director Gian Mario Villalta and artist Lorenzo Mattotti. Friday, Oct. 18, at 11:30 a.m. "Crossing borders: redefining the frontiers of publishing," with a presentation on the regional publishing landscape. On Saturday, Oct. 19, at the same venue from 5:30 p.m., "Friuli Venezia Giulia, a place of words and stories," the second part of the presentation of the regional publishing landscape, will be discussed. Diego Marani will speak as the star of the panel and winner of the fifth edition of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Literary Prize "The Tale of Places and Time," promoted by the Region and the Pordenonelegge.it Foundation. There are also several events at the Frankfurter Buchmesse Fuori Salone: a staging of texts by Claudio Magris from the short story collection "Curved Time in Krems," the world premiere screening of the documentary "Italo Svevo. Writing Hidden in Trieste," written and directed by director Alessandro Melazzini, and the exhibition "Carlo Dalla Mura 1927-2022," curated by CRAF in Spilimbergo. (ANSA).
