Description

Final event of the summer series Author Evenings and Afternoons. The protagonist of the event will be Italian singer-songwriter and musician Luigi De Crescenzo, known as Pacifico.

At 6:00 PM, at the Multipurpose Hall of Palazzo E. Pietracaprina, Pacifico will present “Winner or Loser” by La Nave di Teseo Editore.

Pacifico meets Ornella Vanoni and a first-person confession book is born, intimate and engaging. A journey through the thoughts and emotions of an incomparable woman and artist, capable of telling her story with all the fragility and determination that made her an icon for different generations. There is melancholy, the kind that chooses and preserves, as long as it doesn’t turn into sadness. And, worse still, into depression. There is humor, relentless. There are the thousands of people met along the way, faces and stories that still resurface today, like images that return when you close your eyes. And then there is love. Always. Until the last minute. The authentic portrait of a woman who, between a cautious step and a leap into the void, always chose to move forward.

The meeting will be introduced by Graziella Frasca Gallo.
