From 15 to 18 April, as part of Incroci di Civiltà – International Festival of Literature in Venice, the award ceremony for the winner of the third edition of the Giovani Incroci – Albero d’Oro Prize, dedicated to authors under 40, will take place. The event confirms and strengthens the Foundation’s commitment to supporting new generations and promoting dialogue between cultures.
On the occasion of the publication of a new edition of Paul Verlaine’s Œuvres complètes in the prestigious “Bibliothèque de la Pléiade,” this meeting, together with Olivier Bivort, professor at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the project’s principal editor, will revisit the various aspects of this undertaking. Topics will include literary criticism, poetics, literary history, and philology.
In the heart of San Polo, Palazzo Vendramin Grimani overlooks the Grand Canal. Access from Campo San Polo.
