BOOK FAIR IN ROME
‘’Trova il tuo equilibro’’, means find your balance in Italian, while ‘’Equilibro’’ means balance, playing at the same time with the word ‘‘libro’’, which means book in Italian. This is the new slogan of an event taking place in the beautiful city of Rome.
From the 5th until the 8thof December 2008, ‘’Più libri, più liberi’’ (more books, more freedom) the Roman fair will be held at the Rome Palazzo dei Congressi . Seven years ago the Lazio Region, Province and Municipality of Rome, and the Italian publishers decided to match and dedicate this fair to our unconditional friend, the book.
Mister Fabio del Giudice, who developed it, said: ‘’The fair will host this year more than 400 publishers, 200 meetings, editorial previews and international guests’’.
This year the fair welcomed around 50,000 people but in 2009 the expectations are even higher.
The Rome Universities of La Sapienza and Tor Vergata gave some help, aware of the fact that most books are aimed at young people. Even the youngest ones, with the traditional set dedicated to children, so they will become happy readers in the future by knowing a friendship with books from the early age.
Several spaces for professionals and foreign publishers will be provided alongside stands of their Italian colleagues for this seventh edition. If you are one of them, you may want to stay in one of our central hotels such as Yes Hotel Rome.
As Fabio Del Giudice explained ‘‘often the small and medium Italian publishers cannot be known abroad and we felt this was the right way to publicize the Italian books. We also hope that the Book Fair in Rome, the only of its kind, will become an international event. "
Tickets fee: 6 euro
Where : Palazzo dei Congressi, Piazza John Kennedy 1, Rome
