Council for Leggere e scrivere
in genovese
Sala Chierici, biblioteca Berio, Genoa
The Genoese language boasts a written tradition that stretches unbroken from the late Middle Ages to the present day. Even today it is still used not only as a literary idiom by a host of authors who identify with its “illustrious” usages, but it also finds space as a code of information and commentary on websites and printed periodicals, testifying to communicative functions that are still very much alive in today’s society.
Based on these considerations, the Conseggio pe-o patrimònio linguistico ligure (Council for Ligurian Linguistic Heritage) is organizing a conference to study and reflect on these issues. Amongst the participants will be researchers, publishers and other key players of the use of written Genoese in the literary and news spheres.
The event will take place on Tuesday, December 19, 2023 at the Sala dei Chierici of the Berio Library in Genoa, from 2pm to 5.30pm. The citizenry is invited to attend and take active part in the discussion. The maximum room capacity is 99 people.
