About Silvano tra le pagine
A literary festival in the heart of Monferrato
The 'Silvano tra le pagine' festival is a series of cultural events promoted by the Civic Library of Silvano d'Orba, a small town in the Alto Monferrato area of the province of Alessandria, in Piedmont. Created to promote reading and establish the library as a cultural hub for the town, the festival features book presentations, dialogues with authors, and conversations open to the entire community.
The 2026 Edition
The 2026 edition launched on Friday, May 8th at 8:30 PM with the presentation of the book 'Terapia e cura con il cavallo' by psychologist and psychotherapist Stefania Pecora, published by Erickson. The book explores the role of the therapist, the theoretical principles of animal-assisted interventions—specifically with horses—and the effectiveness of these rehabilitation practices. The inaugural event was attended by Mayor Giuseppe Coco, demonstrating the municipal administration's commitment to promoting literacy. The festival continues with further events throughout the season.
The library as a meeting place
More than just a series of presentations, 'Silvano tra le pagine' is an opportunity to connect. The meetings are held within the Civic Library in an intimate, welcoming atmosphere where the public can engage directly with the authors. The Silvano d'Orba library, which has recently upgraded its digital facilities, collaborates with local schools and other area libraries to spread the joy of reading.
