Racconigi Castle's September 'Libri a Castello' and July's Scenari talk boost Italy's cultural calendar

From July 23 to 24, the Scenari cultural program in Turin concluded with a high‑profile discussion featuring economist Carlo Cottarelli, ISPI president Paolo Magri and musicians, focusing on post‑war global challenges and economic policy. The event included a children’s chocolate‑making workshop and a jazz performance.

From September 13 to 16, Racconigi’s historic castle will host the fourth edition of the "Libri a Castello" literary festival. The free‑entry series includes a Shakespeare‑themed theatre show, book presentations by Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, Giusy Ferreri and Marianna Aprile, and an exhibition of Japanese art. Both events are organized by local cultural groups in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and aim to promote literary and intellectual dialogue across Italy.
