"Culture Speaks in Silence": Chiara Francini's Evening of Honor in Roscigno Vecchia

In the heart of the stone village, steeped in history and resistance, the third evening of the "Roscigno Vecchia è viva" festival features a gathering that combines culture, storytelling, and emotion. It promises to be a truly memorable evening, curated by dLiveMedia and directed by Roberto Vargiu .

Special guest: actress, writer, and television personality Chiara Francini , fresh from a rich and profound career spanning theater, film, and television. Francini is the author of Rizzoli bestsellers such as "Le querce non fanno limoni" (May 2025), a novel that intertwines passion, memory, and the Resistance through the story of Delia and her family, in a journey spanning fifty years of Italian history. Journalist Chiara Di Miele will also be joining Francini for an exclusive interview, offering the audience the opportunity to ask questions, share curiosities, and share their thoughts.

Francini will also present his latest book, "Querces Don't Make Lemons," describing how memory—political, emotional, and ideological—becomes writing and resistance.

The event is strongly supported by Banca Monte Pruno, directed by Federico Cono , together with the Municipality of Roscigno, the Fondazione Monte Pruno, and the Pro Loco Roscigno Vecchia. The Associazione Monte Pruno Giovani, chaired by Sebastiano Greco , and the Circolo Banca Monte Pruno, chaired by Aldo Rescinito , also collaborate in its realization.

Pino Palmieri, Mayor of Roscigno , in introducing the event, declared , "Bringing authentic culture to a place like Roscigno Vecchia means reaffirming and regenerating our history. Here, roots are life: let's listen to them together."

Michele Albanese , President of the Monte Pruno Foundation , proudly declared: “We believe in the power of words and memory. This evening is a concrete commitment to our origins, our values, and our community. Because those who safeguard culture build the future.”

To complete the sensory experience, food stands will offer local specialties, offering a convivial and authentic post-show experience, immersed in the ancient alleys and the silence that speaks.

We invite you all: don't miss this evening that will strike a chord with the deepest hearts and memories. Culture is alive and well. And it speaks from Roscigno Vecchia.
