Thirty years of author encounters at the Visconti Castle
In Abbiategrasso, within the Metropolitan City of Milan, Literary Sundays represents one of the city's longest-standing cultural traditions. Now in its XXXI edition, the festival celebrates thirty years of cultural sharing: encounters, exhibitions, debates, and events that have accompanied the community on a long journey of growth and dialogue.
The heart of the festival lies in the encounters with writers, hosted in the Council Chamber of the Visconti Castle. Between January and February, female and male authors present their works and engage in dialogue with the public, in Sunday events that combine book presentations, reflection, and discussion.
Curated by the Associazione Iniziativa Donna, in collaboration with local entities such as L'Altra Libreria and Cooperativa Rinascita Abbiatense, the festival has often given a voice to themes and authors connected to the female world. It is this focus, combined with its thirty-year consistency, that makes Literary Sundays an eagerly awaited event in Abbiategrasso's cultural winter.
The 2026 edition, the XXXI, celebrates the festival's thirty years with a series of author encounters between January and February, in the Council Chamber of the Visconti Castle. Among the events of this edition, the last date in February is dedicated to Rosita Manuguerra with her 'Malanima'.
Full program curated by the Associazione Iniziativa Donna.

Free admission to the encounters.
