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.
Every journey is different. Whether you seek relaxation, adventure or culture, find the experience that best suits your way of travelling.
