A constantly growing
international vocation, the topical focuses that allow it to
stand "on the doorstep of history," a strong identity as a
cultural enterprise, increasingly invited to take its experience
abroad: these are the features of Pordenonelegge. it foundation,
which this year accepts the invitation that arrived from Romania
on the occasion of the Week of the Italian Language in the
World, and on Friday, October 20, will visit Timisoara, European
Capital of Culture 2023, where the 24th edition of the Festival
of Books with Authors will end, after a preview in Prague and
five days in Pordenone.
"Our commitment to internationalization is perceived by many
entities abroad - explained Michelangelo Agrusti, president of
the Pordenonelegge.it Foundation - sharing the cultural
experience built up over time allows us to exchange ideas and
visions for a new Europe: in Timisoara, we will combine the
events of the cultural program with meetings with consular
authorities and representatives of many companies from
northeastern Italy that have contributed to Romania's industrial
and entrepreneurial development. The trip will also be a tribute
to the many Romanian families who have arrived in Italy and the
Pordenone area over time."
"In Timisoara - underlined Pordenonelegge artistic director
Gian Mario Villalta - we will engage in a dialogue between Italy
and Romania on crucial issues such as language, poetry, human
geography, and culture."
Two meetings are scheduled, with the support of BCC Banks of
Pordenone and Monsile: the "Romance Europe" lecture by linguist
and philologist Lorenzo Tomasin, in the Eugen Todoran University
Central Library, to recall the common linguistic matrix of Italy
and Romania, and a video conference with Giulio Ferroni,
professor emeritus at La Sapienza University of Rome, with a
focus dedicated to "Dante's Italy," thus to the father and
"inventor" of the Italian language.
