The International Literature Festival conceived and organized by Ca’ Foscari University Venice, in collaboration with the Venice Foundation and the Municipality of Venice, with the support of Marsilio and the Civic Museums Foundation, reaches its 18th edition this year. Spread across the city in various venues, including Santa Margherita Auditorium, Querini Stampalia Foundation, Palazzo Grassi, and Goldoni Theater, the event promotes dialogue between nations, cultures, and people through conversations with authors from around the world. It draws inspiration from major contemporary themes such as identity, racism, the relationship between the individual and others, explored in various forms and cultural contexts.
