Books, authors, and culture in the heart of Monza
Monza Book Fest is the literary festival that brings books and writers to the heart of Monza, the capital of Brianza. Set in symbolic locations in the city center such as the Arengario and Piazza San Paolo, the festival transforms the square into a large meeting space between authors and readers, in an open and participatory atmosphere.
The program unfolds over two days, with meetings and dialogues with authors, stands of publishers and bookstores, workshops, and cultural activities. Writers, journalists, and personalities from the world of books take turns on the main stage, in conversations that span different genres and themes. The stands allow you to discover the offerings of publishing houses and bookstores, while the workshops offer opportunities for in-depth study and participation.
With free admission, Monza Book Fest makes culture accessible to a wide audience, from families to the most passionate readers. The choice to liven up the city squares brings the festival closer to the life of the city, making it a celebration centered around books. For Monza and Brianza, it is an event that confirms the role of reading as a space for meeting and collective growth.
