"Through the mirror". This is the title of the 2023 edition of the International Book Fair, scheduled in Turin from 18 to 22 May next. The literary kermesse will be held in pavilions 1, 2, 3 and Oval of Lingotto Fiere and the Lingotto Congress Centre. For the first time, the Pista 500 space will also be available, an artistic project developed by the Pinacoteca Agnelli. It is a green lung 28 meters high with more than 40 plants created by Fiat; the roof garden is enriched with installations specifically designed by artists and international artists.
Through the mirror
The leitmotif of the 35th edition of the Book Fair, in the intention of the organizers, is almost a desire that leads those who feed it to go beyond the everyday world towards a higher reality where reality and fantasy mix. The wonder that grows behind the mirror is expressed by this year's poster, illustrated by the Italian artist Eliza Talentino. A symbolic image, two ethereal female figures surrounded by flowers and soft colors that opens the doors of the salon to readers. A journey between dreams and ideas, stories to tell and listen to.
On the occasion of the 2023 edition, the Book Fair returns to host both an Italian region and a country. This year's guests only Sardinia andAlbania, present with a stand in the Oval pavilion and in pavilion 1. During the days of the event assigned to them, the two territorial realities will take care of a dedicated programming in connection with the Mediterranean culture that unites them.
