dIRECTED BY Michele Caccamo

FREE ENTRY

Poet Michele Caccamo proposes a writing seminar that will guide participants toward a focus on imagination, art, beauty, and poetry in the footsteps of Pier Paolo Pasolini. A figure, that of Pasolini, who is not only still relevant but today becomes urgent and necessary; given the state of affairs, an intellectual of his caliber and courage is missing and essential for students to take the right to freedom and doubt. Special guest writer Aldo Nove.
