Smash. Sandro Veronesi between sport and literature

 

During Wimbledon Tennis Championships, Sandro Veronesi will be back at the Italian Cultural Institute to present his latest publications, both related to the world of sport:
Un dio ti guarda (La nave di Teseo, 2016), a book where the author reminds us the sport’s educational value and the ability to unhinge the memory, both collective and individual. In this moving autobiography Veronesi fully reveals himself merging his life with the stories of his favourite champions.

Smash. 15 racconti di tennis (La nave di Teseo, 2016), a collection of short stories about tennis written by some of the most important Italian contemporary authors: Sandro Veronesi, Elena Stancanelli, Sergio Perroni, Valeria Parrella, Edoardo Nesi, Marco Missiroli, Carmen Llera Moravia, Matteo Garrone - Edoardo Albinati, Giorgio Falco, Mauro Covacich, Leonardo Colombati, Matteo Codignola, Guido Brera, Mario Andreose, Fulvio Abbate.

In conversation with ICI Director Marco Delogu, Sandro Veronesi will also talk about his experience with “La nave di Teseo”, a new Italian publishing house that he founded with the late Umberto Eco and Elisabetta Sgarbi.
