OltreConfine Festival — Gianico stop
Literature spread across Valle Camonica stops in Gianico
About OltreConfine Gianico
A festival that crosses the valley
OltreConfine Festival is a distributed cultural review that takes place in Valle Camonica and the Sebino area, in the province of Brescia. Under the artistic direction of Stefano Malosso, the festival distributes its events across various municipalities in the valley, combining territorial valorization with the promotion of culture, with a particular focus on literature.
The Gianico stop
Among the festival venues is Gianico, a small municipality in the lower Valle Camonica, where the encounters are held at the G. Mondini Civic Library. Here, the festival brings authors and voices from the national literary scene, in evenings of readings and dialogue open to everyone, with free admission until seats are full.
Proximity culture
The value of a review like OltreConfine lies precisely in its ability to bring great literature outside of major centers, reaching mountain villages and towns that would hardly have access to events of this level. By involving local administrations, territorial bodies, and private sponsors, the festival makes culture a tool for cohesion and growth for the entire Valle Camonica.
OltreConfine Gianico — edition 2026
On May 21, 2026, at 9:00 PM, the G. Mondini Civic Library in Gianico hosts a stop of the twelfth edition of OltreConfine Festival. The writer and translator Marco Rossari is the protagonist, presenting 'Piccolo dizionario delle malattie letterarie' (Einaudi).
The event is a hilarious monologue that alphabetically catalogs 'literary pathologies,' ironically analyzing the idiosyncrasies of writers and readers, through examples of classic and contemporary authors. The twelfth edition of the festival runs from April 8 to June 16, 2026, with 13 events in 11 municipalities in Valle Camonica and Sebino. Free admission until seats are full.
