Letture d'Agosto Festival

Letture d'Agosto 2025: "Existing to Resist"

The ninth edition of the festival, held in Bovino in August 2025, chose the theme Existing to Resist, an invitation to reflect on the ability of culture and the word to oppose the difficulties of the present. Under the direction of Lea Durante, the Presidio del Libro program combined fiction and poetry—with a particular look at verses from Gaza—with civil narratives related to sport, within the Seeds in the Wind project.

As every year, the meetings animated the historic center of the Monti Dauni village, in the Province of Foggia, confirming Bovino's vocation as a small summer capital of reading in the hinterland of Puglia.
