In 2012, the Promoting Committee and the Milan Department of Culture invited Italian publishers to create a shared event among all the protagonists of the publishing system. Its purpose was to put books, reading and readers at the center of a series of events spread throughout Milan and its environs as engines and protagonists of the city’s identity and its transformations in past, present and future history.
Bookcity Milan is a three-day program of events (plus one dedicated to schools), during which meetings, presentations, dialogues, read alouds, exhibitions, performances and seminars on new reading practices are promoted, ranging from old, new and just released books from historical public and private collections and libraries, through the popularization of the practice of reading as an individual experience and also a collective event.
This year’s program, entitled A Time To Dream, took place from 13-19 November, during which our FSP publishing house participated in various encounters held throughout the city.
For the first time seven Catholic publishers based in Milan took part in a series of meetings under the coordination of the Archdiocese that helped to enrich this year’s cultural proposal.
