Various literary festivals and book presentations are occurring across different regions of Italy.

In early October, events include the VillaDEArTi cultural festival in Villadeati, where Gianfranco Miroglio presents his dystopian novel ‘Verso Marte’, and the XXI Festa del Racconto held in Carpi, Campogalliano, and Soliera. The latter features Spanish author Clara Sánchez discussing themes of truth and lies, alongside discussions by Dario Ferrari and Christian Raimo.

Later in the month, scheduled events include Maurizio Maggiani presenting ‘Almanacco dei viventi’ in San Giovanni in Marignano to explore human connection through photographic archives. Other activities include a commemoration for the writer Gileo Galli in Manciano and a presentation by Andrea Benfante and Anna Giarrocco regarding performing arts couples in the Museo Biblioteca dell’Attore.
