It's Nando Dalla Chiesa who inaugurates the Campania Legge Talks, meetings between authors and readers on current topics. On Wednesday February 14, at 6pm, in the premises of Fondazione Premio Napoli at Palazzo Reale, the writer, sociologist and politician, author of dozens of volumes on civil themes including the latest, «Legality is a feeling. Countercurrent manual of civic education», (Bompiani, 2023) is the protagonist of the talk.
With the interventions of Enzo D'Errico, journalist, director of Il Corriere del Mezzogiorno, and the magistrate Alfredo Guardiano, coordinator of the technical jury of the Premio Napoli, Dalla Chiesa will talk about his commitment to the spread of education to legality.
The audience will be able to interact with the speakers of the meeting through questions and reflections. This is the intention of the talks: not mere book presentations but opportunities for comparison starting from the topics that the volumes and their authors convey.
This will also be the case for the meeting of February 26 with Maurizio Molinari, journalist and essayist, director of the newspaper La Repubblica and author of numerous publications including «Contested Mediterranean. Why the West and its rivals need it» (Rizzoli, 2023). Participating in the event are the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, the coordinator of the technical jury of the Premio Napoli, Alfredo Guardiano and the deputy director of La Repubblica, Conchita Sannino.
On March 15, the guest of Campania Legge Talks will be Licia Troisi, an Italian writer author of some of the most famous fantasy series, now in bookstores with «The light of the stars» (Marsilio, 2024), her first attempt as a mystery writer.
Closing this first cycle of talks, the meeting of April 5, with Igiaba Scego and Chiara Piaggio, curators of «Africana. Telling the continent beyond stereotypes» (Feltrinelli, 2021), a collection of writings by authors of great international fame and emerging voices united by the aim of providing a defense tool against those who stereotype and see the African reality "as a long expanse of huts".
