Theme

Memory, leitmotif of the 2010 Book Fair

albero_memoria_iconWhat is memory for us today? How do we think of it, how do we use it? The choice of memory as the key theme of the 2010 Fair stems from the realisation of a paradox: right at the time when, thanks to new technologies, we have endless databanks to hand, so vast that they challenge our own imagination and management abilities, we have realised that our relationship with the past has become distracted, intermittent, almost annoying.
