Genoa is the Italian Capital of the Book 2023; a unique opportunity for the city to become a benchmark in the Italian cultural landscape.
A cultural event with domestic and international reach
Promoting the reading and distribution of books also provides a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the city’s cultural heritage, with high-level exhibitions and events that will also be a major attraction for visitors.
“A fantastic job has been done not only in Italy but also internationally, - say regional president Giovanni Toti and Genoa’s mayor Marco Bucci, - and we are confident that this great achievement will bring even more prestige to the Ligurian capital on a cultural level, and also impact on tourism.”
Festivals, exhibitions and book fairs in Genoa
Many well-established initiatives will also be featured, ranging from the La Storia in Piazza Festival to the Science Festival, as well as publishing exhibitions and book fairs aimed at turning books into instruments of civil growth and social integration. Other activities to be organized throughout the year include public readings and structural interventions for city libraries, as well as educational initiatives and exhibitions.
