There is an Italy less noisy, far from the beaten track, which continues to live in the slow rhythm of the seasons and the ancient pace of transhumance. This is the Italy we tell in "“Transhumance and grazingi”, the volume I wrote together with Fioravante Ascolese, published by Delta3 Editions, and which will be presented on Saturday 18 April at 5pm at the Avellino Press Club.
In the heart of Irpinia, an authentic land still deeply rooted in its traditions, the book offers a journey into a cultural heritage that speaks to the world. Transhumance, now recognized as an element of universal identity, becomes a key to understanding not only the past but also new perspectives for sustainable development and the valorization of internal territories.
The meeting will feature contributions from authoritative voices: Gianni Festa, director of the Corriere dell'Irpinia; Bruno Corrado, veterinary director of the ASL of Frosinone; and Silvio Sallicandro, publisher Delta3. A multi-level dialogue that intertwines information, technical expertise, and cultural vision.
I will moderate the event myself, taking on a role that will allow me to guide the audience through the book's pages, between narration and reflection, conveying the meaning of a work born from listening to places and communities.
The authors will conclude, in a moment of synthesis that also aims to be an opening: towards new stories, new perspectives, new connections between the local and the global. The evening will be enriched by the musical accompaniment of Master Mayumi Ueda, capable of evoking, through the notes, atmospheres and suggestions linked to the pastoral world.
Finally, there's a face-to-face meeting with readers, including a book signing: because it's through dialogue that stories find new life.
An event that from Avellino looks beyond the borders, bringing to thethe United States and in the world an authentic fragment of Italian identity: that made of landscapes, traditions and shared memory.
