After several years of absence due to covid, Portici di Carta (Paper Arcades) has now resumed–a two-kilometer (mile-long) open-air book salon set up along the arcades of Turin. The 2022 edition of this yearly celebration offers the public 140 book-related events featuring international authors.
Portici di Carta is a 2-day literary event that each year transforms the Piedmontese capital into one of the world’s longest outdoor book salons–an extraordinary celebration of the joy of reading by the city’s book lovers.
This year’s rich cultural program features meetings, dialogues with authors, publishing events, book signings, literary walks around the city, as well as a sampling of the abundant titles available through read-alouds, literary workshops for children, painting sessions in the main square, etc.–all organized with the help of writers, librarians, teachers and volunteers.
