Cinema Arena Vittoria
On Monday, August 24, at 21:30, Cinema Arena Vittoria hosts Margherita Oggero for the presentation of “Le piccole viltà”, published by Einaudi. The event, introduced by Graziella Frasca Gallo, is part of the “Serate & Pomeriggi d’Autore” series. With her ironic gaze and attention to human weaknesses, the Turin-based writer constructs a family story in which each character carries something they would prefer not to show. At the heart of the novel is Marianna, called Mimina, who grew up within a far from conventional family, alongside figures bound by deep affections, but also by choices, renunciations and truths left unresolved. It is precisely the apparently least important behaviors that become the subject matter of the narrative: those decisions made for convenience, fear or peace of mind that, accumulating over time, end up directing people’s lives. The events of the protagonists are interwoven with the transformation of Turin, a city particularly dear to the author and a constant presence in her literary work. Born in Turin, Margherita Oggero was a teacher before dedicating herself to narrative writing. She made her debut in 2002 with La collega tatuata, from which the film Se devo essere sincera was adapted. Her novels also gave rise to the successful series Provaci ancora prof! With Einaudi she has published Così parlò il nano da giardino (2006), Il Compito di un gatto di strada (2009), Non fa niente (2017 and 2019), Il gioco delle ultime volte (2021) and Le piccole viltà (2026). She collaborates with newspapers and magazines and her works are translated in various countries.
Piazza Marinai d'Italia
The enchanted summer of Borghetto Santo Spirito is preparing to experience one of its most anticipated events. On Tuesday, August 25, 2026 at 9:30 PM, Piazza Marinai d’Italia will host LDA & AKA7even, two of the most well-known and appreciated young artists on the Italian pop-urban scene. An unmissable appointment for all live music enthusiasts, organized to offer the audience an evening full of fun, great hits and the contagious energy that only great live performances can convey. LDA, stage name of Luca D’Alessio, became known to the general public thanks to his participation in Amici, where he distinguished himself for his sensitivity and a personal style capable of combining pop, R&B, and urban influences. In 2023, he took the stage at the Sanremo Festival with Se poi domani, consolidating an artistic path that has led him to win an increasingly large audience. AKA7even, stage name of Luca Marzano, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who achieved national popularity through Amici. With songs like Loca, which became one of his greatest successes, he built a personal artistic path that also brought him to the Sanremo Festival stage in 2022, where he presented Perfetta così. Two paths that over time have met and given life to an increasingly strong artistic and personal bond. LDA and AKA7even, in fact, share not only a passion for music, but an artistic and personal connection born during their respective journeys and grown over time. From television to major stages, their paths have crossed on several occasions, even reaching the prestigious setting of the Sanremo Festival, an experience that saw them as protagonists together with Poesie clandestine, a song that marked a new chapter in their shared artistic journey. The project also gave rise to their first album together, Poesie clandestine, in which pop and contemporary sounds meet influences linked to musical tradition and the roots of Southern Italy. Both have been able to win over especially the new generations, transforming their early television experiences into the starting point to build their own musical identity. Two artists, two stories and one great stage for an evening designed especially for young people, but capable of engaging an audience of all ages. The evening will be free and open to all, within the capacity limits provided for performances. Access checks will be conducted at the entrance to the square. “We are thrilled to host LDA & AKA7even, two young artists who represent well the talent and energy of the new Italian music scene. It will be an evening designed for young people, but not only, with the aim of offering all residents and our many guests a moment of music and sharing in the heart of our summer. Following the success of our first major event with Le Vibrazioni, we hope that this concert will also give the audience an evening of great entertainment and fun.” The Mayor Giancarlo Canepa
