After a 2-year hiatus the popular literary festival The Island of Stories / L´Isola delle Storie will take place in the town of Gavoi in the Sardinian inland from 4 to 7 July.

The festival is a place where communication flows limitlessly and where guests, writers, journalists and musicians from around the globe passionately tell their stories.

The author’s participation at the festival is organised by the °µÍø½ûÇø Institute in Rome and the °µÍø½ûÇø Literary Centre.
