ScrittuRa Festival - Alfonsine stop

ScrittuRa Festival in Alfonsine

ScrittuRa Festival is one of Romagna's most beloved literary reviews: every year, in May, it transforms the province of Ravenna into a large, widespread stage where literature meets the public. Directed by writer Matteo Cavezzali, the festival features dozens of free-entry events across Ravenna, Lugo, and the Municipalities of Bassa Romagna, including Alfonsine, Bagnacavallo, Cotignola, Fusignano, Sant'Agata sul Santerno, and Castel Bolognese.

The stop in the Municipality of Alfonsine

In Alfonsine, in the province of Ravenna (Emilia-Romagna), the festival arrives at the Cinema Teatro Gulliver, a historic venue in the town that for the occasion becomes a meeting place for authors and readers. The Alfonsine stop is often part of the review's closing calendar, culminating an intense month of presentations, dialogues, and readings. The event is held with free admission, in line with the festival's philosophy of bringing great literature closer to the widest possible audience.

A widespread festival across the territory

The strength of ScrittuRa Festival lies in its ability to bring leading names from the national and international literary scene to even the smallest towns in the province, enhancing local libraries, theaters, and cultural spaces. For Alfonsine, this stop represents a moment of cultural appeal that engages with community life and the Municipality's initiatives, helping to make Bassa Romagna a reference point for book and writing enthusiasts.

What to expect

• Presentations of novels and dialogues with prominent national and international authors
• Conversations led by the artistic director and by journalists and critics
• Informal and participatory atmosphere, with space for questions and book signings
• Free admission subject to availability

The Alfonsine stop thus confirms itself as a valuable part of a review that, edition after edition, attracts thousands of attendees throughout the province of Ravenna.
