Borgolibri

Borgolibri, the book festival in the Canavese

Every spring, Borgofranco d'Ivrea, a small town in the Province of Turin located at the gateway to the Aosta Valley, becomes the capital of local culture for three days thanks to Borgolibri, a literary festival that brings together writers, publishers, readers, and enthusiasts. The event takes place at the Salone Choc on Via Guido Rossa and offers a packed program of book presentations, meetings with authors, theatrical performances, exhibitions, and activities for all ages.

A bridge between Canavese, Piedmont, and the Aosta Valley

Borgolibri is more than just a publishing showcase: it is an event that highlights the talent of writers from the Canavese and the nearby Aosta Valley, weaving together historical memory, local traditions, and contemporary literature. Alongside local voices, the festival hosts nationally renowned guests, cultural awards, and projects that tell the story of the identity of these Alpine borderlands between Piedmont and Aosta.

What to experience at Borgolibri

• Literary presentations featuring local authors and national guests, spread across the three days.
• The second-hand and antique book market, open for the entire duration of the event, a paradise for collectors and those looking for rare volumes.
• Theatrical shows and evening performances, ranging from staged poetry to storytelling dedicated to the legends of the Canavese.
• Exhibitions on cultural and scientific themes, which change every year to enrich the experience.
