Are you a reader? Are you passionate about Italian Literature?
If so, join our Book Club! Starting October 30, we will meet monthly to read and discuss books written by Italian authors and translated into English.
No Italian language knowledge is required; the discussions will be in English.
We will be exploring Italy through stories, characters and narrative styles, we will share our thoughts, impressions and interpretations, widening together our comprehension of the book. Marisa Castagno and Emanuele Capoano will be our guides throughout this journey.
The reading sessions take place in our splendid library, named after Lorenzo Da Ponte, Mozart’s librettist and the first professor of Italian Literature in America.
The reading of this month will be The Shape of Water-La Forma dell’Acqua, an intriguing thriller novel by the late great writer Andrea Camilleri.
