Light Points: A Book Presentation Event at the Palace of Culture

Today at 17, at the Palace of Culture on Duomo Street, there will be a presentation of the book “Light Points” by Raffaella Lanzetta. The mayor, Antonio Trombetta, will participate along with the author. The event will be accompanied by the violin notes of Antonio Esposito. This initiative is part of the schedule of cultural events promoted by the municipal administration within the national campaign for reading, launched for the first time in 2011 by the Center for Books and Reading, now a fixed appointment and this year at its fourteenth edition. The author in this work talks about the malaise of the soul, without making distinctions of skin, religion, illness or health, wealth or poverty. They are light points, hers, in the resignation of the inexorable going or rather running. Simply poems to feel close to who reads to find themselves in familiar words, like at Sunday lunch, among the smiles, greetings saying 'see you soon', for a when that never comes. Raffaella Lanzetta was born in the province of Brescia, grew up in the Caserta area, now lives in Rome. She graduated in Classical Letters at the Federico II University of Naples. Since 2001 she has worked in Rai, first for programs like Porta a Porta, La Vita in Diretta, Tg1, currently for the Digital Direction. In 2018 she published her first collection “Make Me Become Poetry” publisher Chillemi with a preface by Vincenzo Mollica. With her poems, she participated in several readings at the Boscolo Hotel Esedra with the poet Corrado Calabrò, Terrace on the Mediterranean at the Museum of Latina, Words in the wind on the Lungotevere of the Roman Summer sponsored by the Municipality of Rome, Poets without borders with lawyer Angelo Sagnelli, for the Spoleto Art Festival of the Two Worlds, Tea Poetry at the Theater of Heroes in Rome. Sponsored by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, she received the certificate of honor at the Theater of the Dioscuri at the Quirinale, with Together for Art in Giulianova from the Rotary Club district Abruzzo, Marche, Umbria, and Molise Culture Award 2018. "With this varied billboard - stated the Councilor for Culture Lisa Froncillo - we intend to promote reading in our city, especially bringing young people closer to this world. Moreover, the May of Books will allow us to mature important titles to participate in other projects, such as obtaining the recognition of the fundamental requirement for the qualification of City that reads. It is a path on which our administration intends to invest by bringing culture back to the center of the administrative political agenda, in the belief that a city changes not only through the remaking of streets and the improvement of services but also with a greater awareness of the citizens."
