Breakfast with Daniele Di Gennaro

I deal with storytelling. In my journey of over 30 years with minimum fax, I have learned every day, always surrounded by people who are better and more skilled than me in various ways. I realized that any editorial content has the power to give birth to theatrical, radio, audiovisual projects, live events, and training courses.

This entire journey has been played out in the search for innovators, transformed styles, and the social sentiments that have generated new languages. Thus, an emotional engine that challenges pre-existing standards to bring about surprising and liberating evolutions. This search, which particularly identifies an independent publisher, produces maps, cultural topographies where books speak to each other and with other arts.

Under the desirable stimulus of your curiosities, I will recount episodes, choices, editorial segments, such as the one dedicated to Flannery O’Connor in the year of the centenary of her birth. And thus the intellectual debts, the necessary thanks to those, present or absent, who have left a strong mark on my way of being and my view of the world. Daniele Di Gennaro

We will be skillfully welcomed by Chiara Alpago Novello at 9:30 for breakfast with coffee, tea, all the good things needed to start the day well—cookies made with organic flour baked in a wood oven, local yogurt and cheeses, fruit jams from the garden, and whatever the awakening and the season inspire (for example, chiffon). At 12:30 a light lunch, greetings and a toast. In between, conversations, questions, and beautiful ideas. As much as you want.
