Vivaio Letterario -Vite che non sono la mia. Scrittori che raccontano scrittori

Does being a writer make it easier to tell another's story? Certainly, knowing the tools of the trade can help, but how does one establish the right distance? Above all, is there a right distance? Diving in headfirst can trap you in the reflection of a distorting mirror, but looking from a safe position makes you lose the nuances, the scents, the whispers. And when facing one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century, her writing that exudes fire, passion, pain, the risk of being burned or missing its heart is high. How do you listen? More questions than answers, as always when the issue is not merely a topic of conversation. But merely posing the doubt opens a path, indicates a possible direction; the destination is a surprise.

We will be warmly welcomed by Chiara Alpago Novello at 9:30 for breakfast with coffee, tea, all the good things needed to start the day right: cookies, yogurt and cheeses, fruit jams, and whatever the morning and the season inspire, all from km0. At 12:30 light lunch, greetings, and toasts. In between, chats, questions, beautiful ideas. As much as you want.
