About Note a Margine

Note a Margine is an invitation to read and to develop one's own thoughts starting from the pages of books. For three days at the end of September, the literary festival animates the historic center of Acquasparta, in the province of Terni, with meetings with authors, presentations, and paths that intertwine literature and gastronomy. A small and high-quality event, designed for those who love to linger between the lines of a book in the heart of Umbria.

A festival that starts from the margins of the book

The name already encapsulates the meaning of the event: 'marginal notes' are the annotations that the reader writes next to the text, a trace of personal thought born from reading. The Festival delle Parole (Festival of Words) in Acquasparta, in the province of Terni, is an invitation to do just that: read, annotate, discuss, develop a thought starting from books.

Three days in the historic center

For three days, the Umbrian village of Acquasparta transforms into a small crossroads of words. The program intertwines meetings with authors, book presentations, readings, and paths that combine the literary dimension with the local food and wine culture, in a dialogue between culture and local tradition.

A village event, of quality

Note a Margine belongs to that category of distributed literary festivals that, far from large centers, manage to build a curated and accessible cultural offering. Set among the streets and squares of the historic center of Acquasparta, the event enhances the village as a place for meeting and exchange, in the heart of southern Umbria.
