Pomigliano with the colors of poetry and with great signatures of literature.

Three writers for a therapy of the soul, and one would say more than writers; but a trio of great authors, including one proposed for the Nobel Prize for literature: Giuseppe Montesano who, alternating with Titti Marrone (prestigious signature of the daily newspaper Il Mattino) and Antonella Cilento (a point of reference for national and European narrative), took part in the aforementioned literature review promoted by the cultural association I colori della poesia with Fragilità, the painting exhibition organized by the artist Rosanna Iossa in the historic spaces of the Palazzo dell'Orologio and sponsored by the Department of Culture headed by Professor Giovanni Russo.

The writers, who spoke on September 18,19, 20 and XNUMX, presented their latest publications: “Meglio non sapere (Feltrinelli editore)” by Titti Marrone, who spoke with Margherita Romano, a literature teacher; “Tre modi per non morire (Bompiani)” by Giuseppe Montesano, who spoke with Annamaria Pianese, president of the association; and finally “Di soli uomini il bosco può morire (Aboca Edizioni)”, who spoke with the entrepreneur and writer Mario Volpe, known for his adventure stories and for having founded the cultural magazine Alma magazine for the association.

The interested public responded enthusiastically to all the meetings, which were further enhanced by an artistic performance by Rosanna Iossa, who symbolically stamped everyone present with the words "we are fragile."

The symbolic significance of this gesture, which marked the presentation of Titti Marrone's book on the Nazi extermination camps and the figure of Sergio De Simone, the first Neapolitan child deported, further sparked profound reflection. This reflection was also reflected in Giuseppe Motesano's narration, which, recounting Dante, the Greeks, and the accursed poets, gave a stunning and engaging lecture on books and reading, emphasizing the importance for readers of spending their time on quality reading. The gastronomic delights provided by the association, which enlivened the event's closing, were equally high-quality.

But not only writing, visual arts, gastronomy and readings entrusted to the voices of Giovanna D'Agostino, Caterina Esposito and Domenico Buonanno, but above all the sweet notes of the flute of maestro Ferdinando Pirone of the Paisiello Music High School of Pomigliano, who accompanied the literary journey in the Cuma forest - with its historical and naturalistic implications - told by an extraordinary Antonella Cilento.

The events were so prestigious that the Department of Culture, in its opening speeches, reiterated its desire to join those municipalities in the area, including Casalnuovo, Somma Vesuviana and Sant'Anastasia, which already support all the cultural proposals of I colori della poesia, which will continue with the Scrittori in prima linea review dedicated to schools in the area.
