The Little Festival
A week of author encounters in the floral gem of the Flower Riviera
About The Little Festival
Culture Overlooking the Sea
Ospedaletti, a refined town on the Flower Riviera in the Province of Imperia, hosts The Little Festival at the end of May, a literary review that brings a week of encounters with writers and authors to the village. It is an event that has carved out a niche in the rich cultural landscape of western Liguria, with a program aimed at an audience of all ages.
Author Encounters
The heart of the festival is the author encounters, moments of dialogue and presentation that liven up the town center. Among the most anticipated guests is Elisabetta Dami, the author who created the publishing phenomenon Geronimo Stilton, much loved by children. Alongside her, fiction, non-fiction, and children's literature writers take turns in a packed and varied schedule.
A Week of Words
Organized with the support of the Municipality of Ospedaletti, The Little Festival is an opportunity to experience the town during one of its most beautiful seasons, when the mild climate and blooming gardens provide a backdrop for cultural events. A festival tailored for readers, in a village that has made well-being and quality of life its hallmark.
