As part of the XXV Week of the Italian Language in the World, “Italofonia: lingua oltre i confini”, and on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Andrea Camilleri, the Consulate of Italy in Adelaide is pleased to invite you to a special event dedicated to the renowned Sicilian writer.
A leading figure of contemporary Italian culture, Camilleri was a writer, playwright, director, and screenwriter who left a profound mark on the international literary and artistic scene. With the famous Inspector Montalbano series, he won the hearts of readers of all ages, while his work also extended to theatre, television, poetry, essays, and radio, giving voice to an imaginative world that continues to resonate with audiences today.
The program, made possible thanks to the valuable material provided by the Fondo Andrea Camilleri, is structured around several highlights:
- the award ceremony for the Flinders University student, winner of the Consul’s Book Award;
- the screening of the documentary “Io e la Rai”;
- an exhibition of panels retracing the most significant moments of Camilleri’s life and career;
- light refreshments kindly offered by the Sicilia Club.
The initiative will take place on Sunday, 19 October at 2:00 p.m., at the Sicilia Social & Sports Club, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in October.
The Sicilia Club enthusiastically welcomed Consul Pianelli’s proposal to host this event, in a particularly symbolic year that sees Agrigento designated as the Italian Capital of Culture.
