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 17th 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. In the year of celebrations for the 700th anniversary of Marco Polo’s death, Incroci di Civiltà focuses on the life and work of the legendary Venetian explorer and the theme of travel.
