LibrAria – Festival letterario estivo
The summer of books in Lerici, between encounters and freedom of thought
About LibrAria
Books Under the Stars
LibrAria is the summer literary festival of Lerici, in the heart of the Gulf of Poets, in the province of La Spezia. Curated by writer and humorist Dario Vergassola, it offers a long series of meetings with authors, intellectuals, and storytellers, transforming the Lerici summer into an occasion for dialogue and freedom of thought.
A Programme Lasting a Summer
From late June to late August, the festival accompanies residents and tourists with evening events. After the inauguration in Zanego, the meetings move to Largo Tarabotto, generally at 9:30 PM, in an informal and welcoming atmosphere overlooking the sea.
Great Guests with Free Admission
Among the featured authors are well-known names in Italian literature and journalism, from Carlo Lucarelli to Fabio Genovesi, from Andrea Vitali to Serena Bortone. The festival, with free admission, confirms Lerici as a place historically linked to culture and poetry, faithful to the vocation of its Gulf of Poets.
