On Wednesday, April 10 at 17.00 Ascanio Celestini will present his latest book Barzellette at the Library “G. Carducci” in Palazzo Mauri. Celestini has collected and reinvented jokes from all over the world. Stories that do not belong to anyone, but are available to everyone. They tell us what we have become, allow us to dig into the murky without becoming murky people. The event is included in the Spoleto di Primavera programme.

But Celestini will also be involved in another event: from 10 to 12 April the actor and writer will be the protagonist of three meetings inside Maiano prison with inmates-students of the art school IIS Sansi Leonardi Volta and participants of #Sine Nomine theater course. This last initiative was born thanks to the collaboration between the Turin Book Fair and CESP (Centro studi scuola pubblica – Rete nazionale delle scuole ristrette) on the occasion of “Adotta uno scrittore” (Adopt a writer), a national project that offers students the opportunity to confront themselves directly with authors to explore the fascinating universe of literary production.
