After the success of the first meeting with Nando Dalla Chiesa, the cycle of meetings between writers and the public on various themes continues: legality, international conflicts, integration. The second appointment is tomorrow, February 26th, with Maurizio Molinari. The Campania Legge Talks return, meetings between authors and readers on current topics. Maurizio Molinari is the protagonist of the second talk. On Monday, February 26th, at 6pm in the premises of the Napoli Prize Foundation at the Royal Palace, we will meet the 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).
With the interventions of the mayor of Naples Gaetano Manfredi, the deputy director of La Repubblica Conchita Sannino and the editor of La Repubblica Napoli Ottavio Ragone and the coordinator of the technical jury of the Napoli Prize Alfredo Guardiano, Molinari will talk about the contemporary geopolitical situation and its biggest protagonist, the Mediterranean, strategic scenario of a wide global conflict.
In continuity with the theme chosen for the Napoli Prize, the open debate aims to help us better understand what is happening around us, in a context, the Mare Nostrum, where world superpowers confront each other to consolidate and affirm their hegemony and where Italy plays a crucial role due to its geographical position.
The public will be able to interact with the speakers of the meeting through questions and reflections. This is the intent of the talks: not mere book presentations but opportunities for discussion starting from the topics that the volumes and their authors convey. The Campania Legge Talks meetings will resume on March 15th with Licia Troisi, Italian writer author of some of the most famous fantasy series, now in bookstores with “The light of the stars” (Marsilio, 2024), her first detective story.
The first cycle of talks will conclude on April 5th 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.
