Dr Brown to host a series of face to face and online events to reflect on Dante’s significance to Australia and the world more broadly. On 25 March 2021, to coincide also with Dantedì 2021, the Dante Alighieri Society of Canberra hosted the national launch of the seminar series as a locally, nationally (and internationally) webcast event. Around 65 people attended the face to face commemoration in Canberra and the online zoom webinar was joined by around 100 online participants. The event was also simultaneously webcast to the DAS Canberra Facebook page Professor Rodney Lokaj drawing a total online audience of over 500 participants. An edited version of the webcast is now available and can be viewed via the national series website at https://danteaustralia.org/canberra-national- launch-dante-day-25-march-2021/ The event included a reading from the Divina Commedia by Dr Joshua Brown, Convenor of Italian Studies at ANU; speeches by Professor Franco Professor Franco Papandrea Papandrea, President of DAS Canberra and by Her Excellency Francesca Tardioli, Ambassador of Italy; the main presentation by Professor Rodney Lokaj, webcast from Spoleto; and musical performances by Fleur Millar, Michael Row and Sam Row.

Her Excellency Francesca Tardioli also addressed the meeting reflecting on the significance of the commemoration. Dante, the poet, the philosopher, the politician, the person, she observed, embodies and symbolises Italy as a whole: and he is a paradigmatic representative of Italian culture. He was seminal in fostering the Italian language in an era when the “vulgar tongue” - the common speech - was not held in respect. His contribution was also much more significant - the universal principles embedded in his thought have influenced modern society. She shared the story of the first printed edition of the Divine Commedia. As a result of war in the city of Mainz, printers and typographers, masters of the new mechanical art of printing fled their home. Among them was the typographer Johann Numeister, a student of Gutenberg - who H.E. Francesca Tardioli found refuge in Foligno; only 30 km from Spoleto. In 1472, together with the Italian entrepreneurs, recalled the words of another great Italian poet, Mariotto and Emiliano Angelini, he produced the first Eugenio Montale, about Dante: printed edition of the Divina Commedia. The paper for it was produced by Benedictine monks who also “The further we get away from Dante and his world, the were great entrepreneurs managing two paper mills greater is our desire to know him and to make his world which they had maintained for around two centuries. known to others” The Ambassador observed that the story represents In introducing the National Launch, Professor the sense of what culture was and still is for Italy.

  • Storia Del Premio Vittorini
    BREVE STORIA DEL PREMIO VITTORINI La prima edizione del Premio letterario nazionale intestato allo scrittore siracusano Elio Vittorini (Siracusa, 1908 – Milano, 1966) ebbe luogo nel 1996, in occasione del trentesimo anniversario della sua morte, per volontà dell’editore Arnaldo Lombardi e dell’Amministrazione Provinciale di Siracusa presieduta dall’Avv. Mario Cavallaro. La cerimonia di premiazione ebbe luogo nella suggestiva sala ipostila del federiciano Castello Maniace. La Commissione giudicatrice, composta da autorevoli figure della cultura letteraria nazionale e presieduta da Natale Tedesco e da Vincenzo Consolo, venne chiamata a premiare tre opere concorrenti, che vennero inviate ad una giuria di lettori per la scelta del super premio. Vennero premiate: Il birraio di Preston di Andrea Camilleri, ancora sconosciuto al grande pubblico, Ritratto veneziano di Gustaw Herling e L’antidoto della malinconia di Piero Meldini. Il superpremio della giuria dei lettori venne conferito a Gustaw Herling. Da allora, e per ben17 edizioni, il Premio è cresciuto sempre più, fino a diventare uno dei premi nazionali molto ambiti, quasi al pari del premio Strega e del premio Campiello. Anche la cerimonia di premiazione, per l’eccessiva partecipazione di pubblico dovette mutare sede e svolgersi all’Anfiteatro romano e successivamente al Teatro Greco dove convenivano circa seimila persone. A presentare il Premio si sono susseguiti Salvo La Rosa, Michele Mirabella, Maurizio Mannoni e, nelle ultime dieci edizioni il compianto Fabrizio Frizzi. Tra gli scrittori premiati nelle varie edizioni ci piace ricordare, tra gli altri, Claudio Piersanti, Amin Maalouf, Giuseppe Montesano, Melania G. Mazzucco, Niccolò Ammaniti, Giuseppe Bonaviri, Paolo Di Stefano, Roberto Alajmo, Maria Attanasio, Emma Dante, Nicola Lagioia, Ruggero Cappuccio, Paolo Sorrentino, Giuseppe Lupo, Carmine Abate, Pino Di Silvestro, Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Roberto Andò, Valeria Parrella, Paolo Di Paolo, ed altri ancora.

  • Al Via a Rimini La XXV Edizione Di Moby Cult
    Al via a Rimini la XXV edizione di Moby Cult Rimini, 29 luglio 2015 – Tra le prime e più longeve rassegne di incontri con gli autori della Riviera romagnola, MobyCult taglia il traguardo dei 25 anni. Il debutto risale al 30 giugno 1991: primo ospite fu Luciano De Crescenzo con il suo libro, allora fresco di stampa, “Elena, Elena, amore mio”. Come è accaduto con tanti altri ospiti – da Vittorio Sgarbi a Sveva Casati Modigliani, da Marco Travaglio a Sergio Zavoli – De Crescenzo rinnovò la sua partecipazione a MobyCult anche in anni successivi. Memorabile l’anno 1997, quando la presentazione del suo volume “Nessuno. L’Odissea raccontata ai lettori d’oggi”, fu accompagnata da un vero e proprio “sbarco” di Sirene, arruolate tra le cubiste della discoteca Paradiso. L’idea della rassegna di incontri “faccia a faccia” tra scrittori e lettori è di Umberto Lazzarini, il libraio riminese che nel 1986 – quando l’invasione di talk show e salotti televisivi era di là da venire – ne organizzò un’edizione nello storico Caffè delle Rose di Rimini. Visto il successo dell’iniziativa, portò gli incontri anche in altri comuni della provincia di Rimini, da Riccione a Bellaria, a Misano, a Cattolica, in contemporanea con la rassegna riminese che si svolgeva invece al tendone dei libri al porto. Da MobyCult negli anni sono passati in tanti: personaggi italiani, da Bruno Vespa a Spadolini a Vittorio Sgarbi a Renzo Arbore a Giampaolo Pansa, Gherardo Colombo, Luigi De Magistris, e autori internazionali come Paco Ignacio Taibo e Jeffery Deaver. Un quarto di secolo, 25 estati di libri e approfondimenti, di confronti sempre appassionati e coinvolgenti tra gli autori e un pubblico di residenti e turisti sempre numerosissimo: tra le 10.000 e le 12.000 le presenze ad ogni stagione.
