Letture Improvvise is a series of events that intertwines storytelling, acting, and live interpretation, creating a synergy between literature, music, and the performing arts within the civic library’s spaces. This project reimagines the library as a living stage, offering a new and immersive cultural experience that breathes fresh life into the written word. Previous editions have been highly successful, attracting a diverse audience of young people, families, and enthusiasts of all ages, drawn by the originality of the programme and the blending of different artistic forms. Each session features a staged reading enhanced by scenic elements or musical accompaniments.
For 2026, building on the achievements so far, the series returns with a full schedule curated by the library. The dates are as follows:
1 March: Author Fulvio Ervas explores the importance of one’s connection to their homeland, with musical performances by Sara Righetto (vocals) and Alessandro Pasqual (guitar).
8 March: Muse, a concert that tells a story, featuring Lino Brotto (guitar and narration) and Filippo Tantino (double bass and narration).
29 March: Michele Roul, a writer shortlisted for the 2025 Strega Prize, presents Inventario di quel che resta dopo che la foresta suona, accompanied by Sara Fattoretto (voice and guitar).
The initiative is family-friendly: while parents attend the readings in Sala Gelli, children (aged 5 to 9) can take part in creative music workshops led by professional facilitators and Lorenza Bano in the Children’s Room on the upper floor. Sessions will run from 17:00 to 19:00.
Regarding entry, a small contribution is required:
Online presale: €2.00 (available via the oooh.events platform).
On-site purchase: €3.00 at the entrance on the day of the event.
