A series of open events for students and the general public.

Scuola Universitaria Superiore IUSS, Sala del Camino, Palazzo Broletto
Piazza della Vittoria 15, Pavia

The goal of the “Reading Together” lecture series is to rediscover the joy of shared reading and the deeper meaning of some of the texts that have shaped the history of Italian literature. The program includes four events featuring selected passages from major works of the Italian literary tradition—from its origins to the twentieth century—read aloud and accompanied by linguistic and thematic commentary. University professors will offer unconventional interpretations to help reveal the enduring and universal value of these masterpieces.
