Many Thanks to our Friends from Italy!

Congratulations on your excellent programme and many thanks for the fabulous four days of Italian Literary Festival presenting top contemporary writers, fascinating new authors and excellent translators.

We appreciate the contributions from publishing market experts and those representing leading public and private sector institutions from Italy who work in publishing and culture sectors and who were instrumental in organizing this event: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Ministry of Culture, the ICE-ITA Foreign Trade Promotion Agency and the Centre for Books and Readership, which promoted the cultural programme in collaboration with the Italian Publishers Association.

We are especially grateful to:

His Excellency the Ambassador of the Italian Republic in Poland – Luca Franchetti Pardo; Laura Ranalli – First Counsellor at the Embassy of Italy; Fabio Troisi – Director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Warsaw; Paolo Lemma – Director of the ICE-ITA Office in Warsaw; and to all the partners from the above institutions, who demonstrated great confidence, team spirit, passion and fantastic attitude!

Thank you for the emotions inspired by literature, for the energy and unforgettable atmosphere. Thank you for the opportunity to make it happen. Together with the many fans of Italian literature and culture, we look forward to seeing you next year!
