Maria Grazia Calandrone - D’amore e di altre felicità

In case of rain, the events planned at the Palude will be held inside the Park headquarters, in the center of Colfiorito.

"Of Love and Other Happinesses," Maria Grazia Calandrone talks with Loredana Lipperini. A poet, writer, visionary, and deeply connected to the real world, she discusses her latest novel, "Tell Me You Were Happy."

Umbria Green Festival: "The Shape of Water" is a series of literary events that focuses on female thought, the local area, and the future. Featuring ten of Italy's most important contemporary writers, the festival aims to foster a renewed cultural awareness of environmentally significant places, thanks also to the nature education program that precedes the festival.

"The Shape of Water" is not just a literary event, but a cultural event that unites literature, civic engagement, and the promotion of inland areas.
