BookCity Milano 2021 Gets Underway, Once Again With the Support of Pirelli
BookCity Milano 2021 is back, from 17 to 21 November 2021. Promoted by the City of Milan and the BookCity Milano Association, it is now in its tenth edition, once again placing books and readers at the heart of a series of events in the city. Pirelli has always supported events that promote reading, and is once again reconfirming its commitment to BookCity.
The theme chosen for 2021 is “After the Pandemic”. Over a year since the pandemic began, it is time to turn our attention to the future, posing questions to both writers and readers and trying to find answers by placing books, words and dialogue at the centre of our considerations.
More than 1,400 events have been planned and they will be held at more than 260 locations throughout the Milan area, as well as online. #BCM events will also be held at universities and there will be initiatives for schools.
In previous years, the Pirelli Foundation has put on various BookCity events, such as the “Tales of Milan as an Industrial City” event in 2018, in which literature and conversations, and the words and images of factories and neighbourhoods in Milan were linked together in memories and current events. In 2019 there were two events: “Corporate Memory, Quality of Economic Results, Empowering the City” at Bocconi University, and “Industrial Humanism in Milan: Business, Science, Literature. A Historical, Cultural, and Social Look at Southern Intellectuals in the North”, at the Fondazione Corriere.
