OTHER FORMS OF LIFE. TURIN’S EXTRA INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR

For the first time in its long and celebrated history – after thirty-two years – Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino, one of the most important publishing events in the world, cannot take place in May, due to the Covid-19 emergency. We are dealing with a dramatic threat for our health, our idea of coexistence and the public and private balances at the base of the community we live in.

While waiting for the right conditions to hold the regular edition in autumn or whenever possible, the book fair has decided to react to the crisis. Salone del Libro has conceived a special edition involving the very best minds of the world, that will take place completely online.

A rich programme of live streaming events will be broadcasted by the website of Salone del Libro and by its main media partner Rai, the national public broadcasting company, offering the chance to interact with national and international guests from Thursday 14 to Sunday 17 May.

Salone Extra will be characterised by over 50 conversations with international and Italian authors, actors, philosophers, musicians, scientists to discuss their work and how their views are holding up against this groundbreaking scenario.

As Italy was shockingly hit by Covid-19, the events are dedicated to the ones we lost, to their families, and all the essential workers and medical professionals who kept the country together.

  • Organized by: Salone Libro di Torino
