On the venue's site

Presentation of La ragione è bastarda, by Andrea Zoppolato, Published by Associazione Vivaio. Speakers: Andrea Zoppolato, Martina Mazzotta. The book offers a reflection on one of the most complex and controversial periods in Italy since the postwar years, exploring it not only in its historical and social dimension, but also through the imagination, dreams, music, psychology, and the irrational and spiritual component that ran through part of the culture of those years. From this point of view, the novel “La Ragione è Bastarda” serves as the starting point for widening the conversation to the collective memory of those years and to the relationship, which is always current, between reason and the irrational dimension in individual and collective choices. From the novel > Villa Ada, today. Cayenna walks among the same trees he crossed as a boy when a voice calls him by name. It is Odino, the friend who more than anyone else has marked his life.
