UNA STORIA DI ARGENTO E ZAFFIRO

presentation of the new book by Paolo Rumiz Canto per Europa
with the participation of Paolo Rumiz
conducted by Alessandro Mezzena Lona

 

Awarding of the Crédit Agricole FriulAdria Prize
“UNA VITA PER LA SCRITTURA” to Paolo Rumiz

 

The event will be broadcast live on the Dedica festival YouTube channel

Paolo Rumiz traces a legend, a myth that started out in Syria and travelled through Turkey before arriving in the old continent, and he does it with the wisdom of words, with the beauty of a gaze thirsting for knowledge and a desire to bring the reader new stories. Canto per Europa is a call to what we are and where we come from. Today, more than ever, it is important to ask oneself this question and provide a precise answer without hesitating, because if we are to turn our eyes to the future, it is essential to look to our past.
