In late July 2026, the town of Romanengo inaugurated a "literary bike path" that displays famous literary quotations, while the nearby Castle of Ameglia hosted a presentation of Raffaella Ferrari’s new noir novel. A week later, Sarzana’s Piazza Luni held the 34th Libri per Strada festival, featuring noir and criminology authors, panel discussions and feminist perspectives on crime fiction. Both events illustrate a series of cultural initiatives in Italy that promote noir literature and related public‑engagement projects.
