All ready for "Barcolana - un mare di racconti", the cultural event that discusses the sea, sailing and travel

The opening of "Barcolana - un mare di racconti", the cultural event that discusses the sea, sailing and travel, is scheduled for tomorrow at 5 p.m. at Miramare Castle: "We chose the castle of Miramare” - explained Mitja Gialuz – “because it is a symbolic place to talk about the sea and tell stories of sailing. The very history of the Castle, together with Maximilian and Carlotta, is inextricably linked to the sea." The first of the “sailing stories” is scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, October 5 at 5:00 p.m.

Appearing, together with Alessandro Mezzena Lona, is Andrea Ricolfi, who will present to the public "The Last Sailor", edited by Garzanti. The novel tells of a fictional island, Noss, located in the Norwegian Sea, and the story of Matias, whose training and fate will be inextricably linked to a gift from his father, a small wooden boat, the Marlin. Starting from that hull, which he does not know how to control, his dream will take shape: to give life to a sailing school. And starting from there he will discover, suspended between joy and pain, his place in the world.

"We begin our Festival” - commented Alessandro Mezzena Lona – “from a symbolic place and with an author closely related to Trieste, who from our sea was inspired by working here, at the Higher School of Advanced Studies. We begin our journey from Miramare and with a novel where the boat is at the center of a life, as for many Trieste natives, and as for all participants in the Barcolana".
