00:05Cala al Sipario on the Fiera del Libro di Francoforte 2024
00:09for our country was a special edition.
00:12After 36 years, Italy has returned to play the prestigious role of guest of honor
00:17and did it in style.
00:19With a dense program of meetings, literary and professional,
00:23Italy has planted its roots in the future.
00:26A beautiful adventure, challenging, exciting.
00:31It went well because this desire for Italy,
00:34which we had perceived and met along the way,
00:38has found satisfaction.
00:40The square, the porticoes, the exhibitions.
00:43Every door that opened,
00:45walking under the porticoes of our square,
00:48was a discovery, a wonder.
00:50It created amazement.
00:52To see people get excited in front of Pompei's finds.
00:57To see people discover that the Treccani is not just
01:01dust-covered volumes in a library,
01:05but it is the book of the future.
01:08We made volume around the heart of the Buchmesse,
01:12which is the rights of the author.
01:15It is the meeting between those in charge of the works,
01:17who must publish and sell the rights of a book rather than another.
01:20Italy, the protagonist of the Buchmesse,
01:22has brought to the attention of the international public
01:25more than 90 writers and more than 230 publishing houses
01:29and literary agencies,
01:31of which 131 in the Italian collective stand,
01:34organized by ICE, Agency for Promotion Abroad
01:37and Internationalization of the Italian Enterprise,
01:40in collaboration with the Italian association Editori Aie.
01:44At this moment, we are next to our editors.
01:49It is a party, a party of the book,
01:51a party of pluralism, of freedom.
01:55It is a pleasure, an honor, a national pride to be here.
02:00The heart of the Italian pavilion,
02:02the Piazza Italiana,
02:04designed by the studio Stefano Boeri Interiors.
02:07Crowded with guests from the first day of the fair,
02:09who under the starry sky, between columns and tables,
02:12were able to fully experience the spirit of Italian culture.
02:16I believe that there is nothing like a square
02:18to symbolize true freedom,
02:20that is, the freedom of any behavior.
02:23There are no codes, there are no prohibitions.
02:26The square is an unpredictable place
02:30where anything can happen.
02:32It is a crime, a religious ceremony,
02:36a political administration, a love scene.
02:40So it is the place that tells better than anything else
02:44what our cities are.
02:46So Italy and Germany, which are cities,
02:49have in common this,
02:51and it seemed right to rebuild a square here,
02:54an allegory of an Italian square.
