«la lettura come esperienza condivisa»

Text from the official Cultura Roma Capitale page (service translation: “reading as a shared experience”), source

«Spritzalibro» is promoted by the Scuola d'Arte Poetica e di Comunità and curated by Cristina Cau and Lavinia Polzella, two young Italian teachers united by a passion for literature and dialogue. The idea is to put books back at the center of the conversation, inside and outside the pages, and to use reading as a tool for critical thinking and an occasion to meet.

The format covers three Thursdays in the theater's foyer: readings by contemporary authors, an open discussion with the audience and a final spritz to continue the conversation informally.

The cycle opened on October 22. The next meetings are on November 19 and December 17, 2026. The initiative is part of the Teatri in Comune 2026-2027 program of Roma Capitale.
