The Italian Cultural Institute in S\u00e3o Paulo has organized a series of meetings on authors of Italian literature. The first meeting is scheduled for 8\u00a0March\u00a02022 and will deal with \u201cWomen in the Middle Ages\u201d.<\/p>\n
The event, curated by Valentina Cantori, is called “Ripensare il canone: scrittrici italiane dalle origini al XX secolo” [Rethinking the standards: Italian writers from the origins until the 20th century] and aims to present to the Brazilian public, little-known and acknowledged artists of prose and poetry, often relegated to the margins of literature. Retrieving the works of writers who influenced Italian and European culture is key to reconsidering the panorama of the history of literature, art, and thought, highlighting their important contributions.<\/p>\n
