Gianni Rodari, il mio teatro

Dear Friends of the Institute,

Due to the requests we have received from our members, I am pleased to inform you that the presentation on the work and life of Gianni Rodari, renowned author of children’s literature, will be presented in English. I hope you will be able to join us on April 28^th at 5:30 pm as we explore the extraordinary work of one of the most translated Italian authors of the 20^th century.

Dott. Roberto Terribile, Director of the Fondazione Aida Teatro Stabile in Verona, will introduce the event and will present the book "Gianni Rodari, il mio teatro” and other material recently published by Einaudi. This presentation will be followed by the screening of a film dedicated to Gianni Rodari’s life and a reading of a selection of passages from the author’s works, recited by actresses Emanuela Camozzi and Monica Ceccardi.

Gianni Rodari is a journalist and writer renowned for the creative originality of his stories, nursery rhymes, and poems, many of which have now become children’s classics. His work has renewed and redefined children’s literature.

Thank you for calling (312) 822-9545 x 198 to RSVP or responding directly to this email.
