From Paris: Giorgio Bassani’s poetry

- on 9 September a new bilingual edition, revised and expanded, of a selection of his poems will be published in the Parisian series of the ‘Cahiers de l’Hôtel de Galliffet’;
- on 15 October, the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris and the Fondazione Giorgio Bassani, with the collaboration of the Regione Emilia-Romagna, are organising an international colloquium on Bassani’s poetry, with the participation of specialists from Italy, France, Great Britain and the USA.
