October 17, 2020Start from a book, with hundreds of pages full of words.

Starting again from a hug because when the book opens, you are embraced, welcomed between its pages.

And it is nice, in these dark days, to read the news of Palermo's candidacy as the Italian Book Capital 2021.



"The book in Palermo - says Mayor Leoluca Orlando - is, and increasingly must be, a meeting point between writers and readers , school and life, booksellers and publishers, bookshops and streets. The book in Palermo as confirmation and symbol of a continuous path of cultural growth and human regeneration that uses and combines analog and digital at the service of people ".   



A path that will have several stages passing through the festivals, fairs, presentations and public reading that each year have the book at the center.

"The idea - underlines the Councilor for Culture, Mario Zito - is to make Palermo a pole of attraction, producer and promoter of growth: cultural, social, civil and economic".
