Article Key Points
This initiative, promoted by Rigenera, aims to transform and requalify the space through culture, creativity and attention to the environment. The initiative is configured not only as a celebration of reading, but as a real invitation to the community to share and revive common spaces.
The Transformation of Villa Di Matteo
The change of name from Villa Zagaria to Villa Di Matteo represents the signal of a cultural recovery of the area. With the opening of the bookcrossing house, the aim is to reclaim underused spaces, converting them into places of aggregation and cultural exchange. The initiative offers anyone the possibility of taking or leaving books, fostering a culture of sharing knowledge.
Inclusion and Sustainability Project
The project sees the participation of the association “La bottega dei semplici pensieri”, which will take care of the catering service with its characteristic Apecar. This presence demonstrates a commitment to the work inclusion of children with Down syndrome, combining social commitment and sustainability. During the morning, there will also be educational and scientific workshops, stands dedicated to sustainability, and a collective performance by Drum Circle. A presentation of books by the writers is also planned, with readings performed by actors.
Community Initiatives
This special day also features a “Secret Santa Letterario,” a game where participants exchange surprise books, and moments of sharing the stories behind the donated literary works. Each participant in the initiative will donate a book to the house, strengthening the link between artistic education and shared culture. The event represents an opportunity to strengthen community bonds and encourage greater cultural awareness, with the bookcrossing house as a symbol for a collective commitment to the common good.
