Around the theme of the X edition, With doubtful reason, the territory through which every book takes us, authors and public will meet. And they will do so not only through non-fiction, but with open windows on poetry, fiction, theater, art, writing courses… (the theme will also be at the center of the master’s lesson final by Latinist, academic and politician Ivano Dionigi, Sunday 26).
