New titles in the “Zimme de braxa” series

The literature series Zimme de braxa – originally launched in November 2023 – celebrated the publication of its first twelfth title this spring. The initial volumes had been dedicated to the 18th-century theatre of Stefano De Franchi (1. Ro mêgo per força), the Savonese fables of Giuseppe Cava (2. Föe moderne), and the poetry in the dialect of Carrosio by Roberto Benso (3. Ei fóe dei ferguò). To these, the series has now added an anthology of 20th-century journalistic prose (5. Zena, rivista trimestrale 1958–1959), plays (6. Nuvie reusa a-o tramonto / Giacomiña) and short fiction (10. Conti curti) by Alessandro Guasoni, the complete poetic works in volume of Plinio Guidoni (11. A stissa ch’a ciòcca into veuo. Poexie 1969–1990), an anthology of songs and literature of the Resistance in Liguria (12. Sotta à chi tocca!), and collections by contemporary poets such as Danila Olivieri (4. Fî), Andreina Solari (8. Penscëi mai diti), Anselmo Roveda (7. Abrexê do çê), and Paolo Besagno (9. Gh’é o vento ch’o mescia). All volumes, as is customary in this series, are accompanied by appendices exploring the literary, historical, and linguistic dimensions of literature in Ligurian.
