ScrittuRa Festival in Fusignano

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 admission events that span Ravenna, Lugo, and the Municipalities of Bassa Romagna, including Fusignano, Alfonsine, Bagnacavallo, Cotignola, Sant'Agata sul Santerno, and Castel Bolognese.

The stop in the Municipality of Fusignano

In Fusignano, in the province of Ravenna (Emilia-Romagna), the festival arrives at the Auditorium Arcangelo Corelli, located at via Belletti 2, named after the famous Baroque composer born in the town. For the occasion, the hall becomes a meeting place for authors and readers, hosting book presentations, discussions, and readings with nationally renowned writers and communicators. Events are 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 top names from the national and international literary scene to even the smallest towns in the province, valorizing the libraries, theaters, and cultural spaces of the area. For Fusignano, this stop represents a moment of cultural appeal that dialogues with the community life and initiatives of the Municipality and the Union of Municipalities of Bassa Romagna, contributing to making this corner of Emilia-Romagna a reference point for book and writing enthusiasts.

What to expect

  • Book presentations and discussions with nationally and internationally renowned authors
  • Conversations led by artistic director Matteo Cavezzali and journalists and critics
  • Informal and participatory atmosphere, with space for questions and book signings
  • Free admission until seats are filled

The Fusignano stop thus confirms itself as a precious piece of a review that, edition after edition, gathers thousands of attendees throughout the province of Ravenna.

Programme ScrittuRa Festival 2026

Wednesday, May 13 โ€” Fusignano, Auditorium Arcangelo Corelli (via Belletti 2)

  • 9:00 PM โ€” Carlo Lucarelli, the protagonist of the event "Nei luoghi piรน oscuri" (In the darkest places), in conversation with festival director Matteo Cavezzali.

Considered one of the masters of Italian noir, Lucarelli brought to the stage the stories and characters that populate his most recent short story collection, exploring mysteries, psychological tensions, and events set in different eras and contexts. The conversation focused on the art of the short story: texts that, as the author himself explained, "disperse more easily" than novels, but which, once collected, become "a discovery. And a surprise.".

The event was held with free admission, until seats were filled.
