Telecom Italia renews its presence as the main partner of the Mantua Literature Festival, in support of culture and the dissemination of digital content, to familiarise the internet public with great contemporary authors and new ways to read and seek information, thanks to the web and e-book readers.
This year Telecom Italia and the Literature Festival present “scrittorinellarete”, eight events streamed live with well-known names in literature and culture selected from the main programme of the festival, available in live streaming on www.telecomitalia.com.
Massimo Gramellini, Joe R. Lansdale, Luciano Ligabue, Claudio Magris, Melania Mazzucco, Zygmunt Bauman, Carlo Lucarelli and Natalia Aspesi will meet the audience in Piazza Castello and interact with the web audience through social networks and chats activated for the occasion on www.telecomitalia.com, inaugurating an unprecedented and direct way for the web audience to participate directly in the Festival.
“scrittorinellarete” will be streamed on demand, free of charge, until August 2013.
Throughout the Litereature Festival, during the day, “Tracce” will return to the Telecom Italia space in Piazza Sordello for the third consecutive year: 23 meetings with writers and personalities from the world of culture, moderated by Maurizio Matrone to share their vision of today’s world, also on Twitter (#tracce).
In the TendaSordello the public can also “browse” their favourite books in e-book version, to get a taste of digital reading, thanks to Biblet, the Telecom Italia e-book reader that accesses cubolibri.it, one of the richest Italian on-line stores, with over 27 thousand titles in its catalogue.
With these initiatives Telecom Italia is continuing to reflect on the role of the web as a cultural tool that can deliver and disseminate contemporary knowledge, making the web a free space for discussion and growth.
