On April 23rd, the enchanting setting of Sirmione will host a significant literary event. The local Book Club welcomes author Elena Pigozzi to discuss her novel Le sarte della Villarey, in a conversation moderated by Elena Giordano.
The narrative transports us to Ancona in 1943, amidst the turmoil of war. Through the characters of Laura and Alda, a seamstress at the Villarey barracks, the novel recounts a true story of courage, resistance, and female solidarity. In a historical period marked by occupation, Alda’s determination to help Italian soldiers escape deportation becomes a universal symbol of human resilience.
