Three young Italian writers will be at the Italian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv on 21 July to present their works which narrate the story of modern-day Israel. The Literary Aperikucha will feature the young writers: Gabriele Barbati and his “Trappola Gaza. Nel fuoco incrociato tra Israele e Palestina”; Fiammetta Martegani with “Life on Mars”; and Anna Momigliano with “Israele e gli altri. Un dissidio irrisolto”. Bianca Ambrosio will moderate the event.<\/p>\n
Gabriele Barbati has been a Middle East correspondent from Israel for Radio Popolare and the Mediaset networks since November 2011. A reporter, cameramen and editor, he also works for international media. “Trappola Gaza” is about the two months lived in fear in the summer of 2014, with rockets blasting and bombs exploding. The Gaza Strip was turned into a trap on two fronts: for the Palestinians who lived there and for journalists, the target of constant pressure and misleading propaganda by both sides.<\/p>\n
Fiammetta Martegani has lived in Tel Aviv since 2009. She enrolled in a Comparative Cinema and Literature PhD course in 2012 at Tel Aviv University, and is currently a correspondent from Israel for several magazines and networks: the e-magazine Q-code; ‘Caterpillar’, a radio programme by Italy’s Public broadcast network, Radio 2; and Radio Svizzera Italiana’s Channel 2. “Life on Mars” marks her debut as a novelist. It describes a different kind of Israel, as seen by someone who is from another ‘planet’\u00a0 like the young protagonist, who arrives in Israel from Italy and soon finds herself involved in the lives of a group of people she met by chance at the counter of the Casbah Cafeteria in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n
Anna Momigliano is a journalist and writer who lives in Milan. She is editor of the ‘Studio’ magazine, and also writes for Haaretz and Il Corriere della Sera. She published ‘Karma Kosher’ with Marsilio in 2009. Her latest book is “Israele e gli altri: storia di un conflitto irrisolto”, a reasoned story on how Israel relates with the ‘others’ living within its borders, its Arab minority and all of the other minorities which are recently growing in numbers and which Israel inevitably has to come to terms with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three young Italian writers will be at the Italian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv on 21 July to present their works which narrate the story of modern-day Israel.
