Medioevo in Libreria 2012 – 13

It sounds poetic in Italian but looses all charm in translation: “The Middle Ages at the Bookshop”

Nevertheless the event has been on the agenda in Milan since 2001. The format is a thematic day organised around a guided tour, a screening of a film and a lecture in the afternoon at the traditional bookshop, Libreria Feltrinelli at Via Manzoni 12 in Milan.

This year the organisers have chosen the theme: The Italian City in the Middle Ages. Accordingly the morning is filled with an excursion to the Castle of San Giorgio, later at eleven a film is shown: In Viaggio nel Medioevo. A journey through pictures and music, directed by Pino Distaso for Italia Medievale. Later in the afternoon Professor Maria Pia Alberzoni from the Catholic University of Milan will lecture on Milan in the Middle Ages.

However the most interesting part is that last year more than 800 people took part in the event!
