Santa in Giallo festival announces board games and award ceremony

The ‘Santa in Giallo’ festival in Santa Margherita Ligure is expanding its programming to include interactive and prestigious literary recognitions.

On September 24, the festival will host an afternoon of investigative board games at the Biblioteca Civica ‘A. e A. Vago’. Led by expert Luca Mevilli, the event aims to foster social interaction across generations through games such as Cluedo, Mysterium, Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective, and Cold Case. A dedicated version of Geronimo Stilton will also be available for younger participants.

Additionally, the festival will host the return of the ‘Golfo del Tigullio’ International Prize on September 25 at the Anfiteatro Umberto Bindi. Journalist and author Umberto Brindani will receive a special award from the festival's artistic direction. This recognition honors Brindani’s ability to merge journalistic investigation with noir fiction, specifically noting his work in the novel ‘Senza lasciare traccia’.
