With Beatrice Zerbini
Tales of daily fragility, pain, love and unexpected revelations of beauty.
Beatrice Zerbini, from Bologna, has become a 'case' in Italian poetry since the publication of her first collection, 'In comode rate'. From the stage of Zecchino d’oro to the collaboration with the Una Nessuna Centomila Foundation chaired by Fiorella Mannoia fighting violence against women, his verses are able to reach everyone's heart and have also become music, thanks to Riccardo Sinigaglia and Caterina Caselli.
Here he tells us about his Bologna and its porticoes.
