Bookcity 2023 | Mediterranean. Interfaces of cultures
Conversations on the occasion of Bookcity
On the occasion of BookCity Milano 2023, the Fondazione Luigi Rovati is organizing Mediterraneo. Interfaces of Cultures, a series of four meetings arising from as many editorial publications.
Led by Maurizio Harari, the conversations offer wide-ranging reflections, while revolving around the common theme of the Mediterranean as a fundamental and stable cultural network, a complex region, home to diverse peoples throughout history.
The appointments deal with the central role of antiquity in the modern and contemporary world. It is believed that there is a perpetual connection between past and present, highlighted through a continuity of language, imagery and forms of expression that comes to shape our identity in a rich and multifaceted way, as a polychromatic product sprung from diverse cultural influences.
