Last appointment, on Thursday 1 September, with the summer leg of“Maggio dei libri – Writing, reading, counting”, a series of three meetings of collective reading dedicated to classics of literature, organized by the “G. Carducci” public library.

 After the integral reading of Jerome K. Jerome’s “Three Men on a Boat”, and of Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Study in Scarlet”, the splendid Terrazza Frau will host “The Sirens’ Chant”, on Thursday 1 September at 19.00. This last reading will be led and is curated by Andrea Tomasini, and will focus on the chant that has been always accompanying the trips of men: excerpts and tales that, from Homer’s Odyssey, talk of voyage-existence, a narration that puts together the various, overlapping senses of man, that finds its shape through both the reader and the listener.

 The meeting is for reading together, and for exchanging one’s point of view, under the sign of the myth of the Sirens, their melodies and silences. Charm and suspicion, attraction and concern, myth and narration, the individual pleasure of reading and the joy of sharing stories and thoughts.

 The meeting will be at the TERRAZZA FRAU and NOT at the Oasi Collicola – as previously noticed. 

 Volunteer readers can still apply at the Public Library to be assigned excerpts.

 Maggio d’estate was conceived by journalist Andrea Tomasini along with the staff of the Public Library, and is supported by Sistema Museo and Palazzo Collicola Vicual Arts.
