PROGRAMME

Until April 1st 2017, the festival will accommodate twenty five writers from twenty different countries (some of them are a cross between multiple nationalities) who will meet again in Venice to share their specific visions of the world with a public of passionate readers. A birthday that Incroci di civiltà is celebrating with emerging authors and prestigious brands, as always under the aegis of quality literature. Without constituting a true leitmotif on the programme, this year the theme will be focused on returning. Not just because some of the protagonists will return for the 10th anniversary of Incroci a few years after making their first appearance - such as Noteboom, Seth and Matar – but also because authors are invited to reflect on this theme in a dramatic moment of movement, of forced exiles and hope for return. One book that has it all and is the quintessence of the theme - already received extraordinarily well by critics and the public, and released in Italy shortly before Incroci di civiltà – is The Return by Hisham Matar.

Turkey, Romania, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Israel, the United States, Kenya, Saint Martin, Great Britain, Holland, India, Argentina, Sweden, Slovenia, Libya, Haiti, and Canada: these are all the countries that are represented by the writers at Incroci di civiltà 2017.

All events are free entry with compulsory reservation online at www.incrocidicivilta.org. Reservations will open on 16th March at midday, and will stay open until the day before each event.

Like every year, the Incroci di civiltà festival benefits from a rich network of collaborations:
