Pordenone | Auditorium Istituto Vendramini

Meeting with Andrea Moro. Presented by Gian Mario Villalta

‘Cinquantun giorni’ by Andrea Moro at Pordenonelegge 2024 - An encounter not to be missed!

📅 Date: 22 September 2024, 12 noon
📍 Place: Auditorium Istituto Vendramini, Pordenone

Pordenonelegge 2024 is pleased to host Andrea Moro who will present his new novel ‘Cinquantun giorni’, introduced by Gian Mario Villalta. A work that explores the great themes of existence, between the epicness of the Iliad and the psychological depths of Shakespearean dramas.

In the heart of Milan in 1978, Pietro Raphèl faces one of the most intense challenges of his career: the staging of a new version of the Iliad, under the provocation of a mysterious and influential woman. This gives rise to profound reflections: are we really able to forgive ourselves? And what does it mean to inherit a sin?

A meeting that promises to be full of emotions and food for thought. We are waiting for you to discover together the backstage of a novel that goes through passions, sins and the search for redemption.

Don't miss this exclusive appointment of Pordenonelegge 2024!
Book your place here and immerse yourself in a story that will leave you breathless.
