The stages of bringing the structure closer to the city of Salerno continue, therefore, with the celebration of poetry and friendship at Casa della Poesia, moments of resistance. Three great protagonists of Mediterranean culture which is, despite what has been emerging in recent years, a culture of meeting, relationships, exchange and hospitality. In the poetry of these "travellers of the word", perfumes, tides, spices, stories, dirges, traditions and modernity, the pleasure and difficulties of living. The mare nostrum, common and different territory, autonomous and shared space. Together with the three protagonists, a series of videos of other Mediterranean poets will be presented from the large archive of the House of Poetry. The Councilor for Culture and University, Dr. Ermanno Guerra, will be present. ________________ Informazioni: Casa della poesia: 089/953869 – 347/6275911.
