Vicino/lontano: the 7th edition

The 7th edition of Vicino/lontano has ended...! In Udine we had some very interesting meetings from the italian cultural scene, like Alessandro Bergonzoni and Gian Antonio Stella, plus a very special guest: Armand Gatti!
Although it is a very hard work (I think I had my toughest 2 months in my entire life), every year I'm very happy to collaborate with such a great organization. Vicino/lontano is Udine's main cultural festival with meetings, dibates, exhibitions and theatrical shows. The main event is the Premio Terzani International Letterature Award with a special theatrical award ceremony. The 7th edition was focusing on work, law and rights, the power of web, of course the 150th anniversary of Italy. The other main topic was the power of Cina, since this year's winner of Premio Terzani was the book 'Operaie' (Female workers) of Leslie T. Chang, a New york based cinese-american journalist.
See you next year!
