Stay home and read: Pordenonelegge festival launches #iorestoacasaeleggo campaign

Taking advantage of the enforced isolation in one’s home to read a good book: this is the proposal of the Pordenonelegge literary festival (whose next edition is scheduled to take place in Pordenone from September 16 to 20, 2020), which is launching the #iorestoacasaeleggo campaign. “Italy is on pause,” the festival organization writes in a note. “Out of responsibility to ourselves and to others, we need to avoid travel as much as possible: it is a sacrifice, but it can also become a moment of growth.” That is why the festival “has invited some writer friends to recognize themselves and join in the hashtag #iorestoacasaeleggo with #pordenonelegge, which obviously connects to the one best known online these days, by donating their own reading recommendations through short one-minute video pills.”

One minute to tell books to read in these weeks, to pass the time, to laugh, to reflect, to learn about other worlds, to fight the hours of waiting and anxiety, because “stories sustain us, even in difficult times.” The social project kicks off today with the first four talks by Simone Marcuzzi, Andrea Maggi, Lorenza Stroppa, and Enrico Galiano, who suggest When I was a child I read books by Marylinne Robinson (Simone Marcuzzi), The book of all books by Roberto Calasso (Andrea Maggi), The Silence of the Wave by Gianrico Carofiglio (Lorenza Stroppa), and De profundis by Oscar Wilde (Enrico Galiano).

The appointment from today will be renewed every day with videos that will be taken up by pordenonelegge’s socials Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram): the hope is that the hashtag #iorestoacasaeleggo with #pordenonelegge will be very short-lived, but in the meantime the invitation is for the video reading recommendations to multiply.
