Contastorie. Incontri e linguaggi

A festival that gives voice to stories

In Romano di Lombardia (Province of Bergamo, Lombardy), the month of June is marked by Contastorie. Incontri e linguaggi, the literary festival that brings writers, journalists, and storytellers to the town. The event enlivens the squares and courtyards of the historic center, transforming urban spaces into places for storytelling and dialogue.

Author encounters and workshops

The Contastorie program is built around author encounters, book presentations, workshops, and labs. Each evening features a different guest and theme, in an open dialogue with the public that makes Contastorie a community-focused festival, far from the logic of large events and close to the authentic pleasure of words.

Voices of current events and sports

Among the guests of recent editions are prominent figures in journalism and sports narrative, such as Francesco Battistini, correspondent and journalist, and the duo Marco Pastonesi and Giorgio Terruzzi, refined voices of Italian sports storytelling. This highlights the festival's ability to intertwine current events, news, sports, and literature, offering the public different perspectives on the contemporary world.

Culture for everyone

Organized by the Culture and Sport Office of the Municipality of Romano di Lombardia, Contastorie is a free-admission festival, designed to bring reading and cultural exchange closer to a wide audience. An event that, edition after edition, confirms the cultural vibrancy of a town in the province of Bergamo capable of enhancing its historic center through stories and languages.
