Lightness is not superficiality, as Italo Calvino wrote, but an answer to the complexity of the times. This is what comes in the winning stories of literary competition A/R GOAL AND STORY. Traveling slightly: instructions for use organized by the FS Group and the Turin International Book Fair. Now in its third edition, the competition is dedicated to unpublished stories of debut writers and writers. With an ex -quota in third place, the winners were Maurizia Di Stefano with “Mare More”, Franco Revello with “The Bookmark”, Riccardo Grasso with “Express Body” and Edooardo Maresca with “The Man On The Run or Human Room”. The Director of the Book of the Book, Annana Benini, and President Silvio Viale inaugurated the Award Ceremony, the Presence of the Jury Made Up of Alessandra Calise, Head of Communication and External Relations of the FS Group and the Writers Guido Catalano, Antonella Lattanzi, Lorenza Pieri, Matteo, Matteo NUCCI, Nadeesha Uyangoda, Simona Vinci.
The writers were granted by Alessandra Calise, FS Group Communication and External Relations Manager, who added that “the train is a narrative space par excellence. A/R GO and history is an initiative that combines the vocation with the FS Group trip and the strength of writing as an instrument of expression and knowledge. We are proud to offer, along with the Turin International Book Fair, a concrete opportunity for rookie authors and authors, supporting a culture of history that comes from the journey and opens to the future. Because traveling – by train as in writing – means nurturing an always new look for the world, and the FS group is done whenever this transformation.
A first coaching staff, appointed by the Turin International Book Fair, selected the 15 finalists, who passed the final jury to designate the selected 500 -story winners who arrived. The finalists of the competition received a Trenitalia -present card. Mare More, by Maurizia Di Stefano, has a happy childhood in Belarus, interrupted by Chernobyl’s nuclear disaster that forces the protagonist to leave his land to Italy, where he recover health, away from radiation. A story that is a unique story, but also the history of a generation, an event that marked collective memory and the bond of solidarity between two countries. Franco Revello, however, told the long journey of a sheet that, having become a marker, lives on endless stories between the pages of the books, finding his place on the journey of another, while in Riccardo Grasso’s “Express Body”, the theme of exploration and body in Italian agricultural fields appears with the drama. Finally, Edooardo Maresca returns to the famous escape with which Tolstoi’s life ended, intertwining known events with literary reformulation. The ways of telling the journey are endless, not only through the expressive architectures of literature, but also with the evocative images of photography or the engaging voice of a podcast that resembles distant places. These are the topics covered, on the sidelines of the awards ceremony, by the FS Group on the new travel narratives with ANSA photojournalist, Ciro Fusco, CEO and founder of Lon this, Bruno Pellegrini, FS Communication and External Relations Manager, Alessandra Calise, along with Sechill. An opportunity to reflect on the numerous possibilities of narrating, from the traditional forms of writing to the contemporary of podcasts, through the ability of photography to immortalize moments.
