Poetry recital in the Alfonso XIII Nave

Next Friday, September 27, at 8:00 p.m., the historic Alfonso XIII nave will once again be the setting for a literary event. This time, it will be a poetry recital in which three authors will participate (Anna Tomàs, Stefano M. Cingolani and Xavier Zambrano), within the framework of the “La Vila en Vers” festival.

After working as a prescriptor through her literary blog and collaborating with various regional media or with El Matí Digital and reciting other people’s poems, Anna Tomás from Vilafranca has decided to make her own, as yet unpublished, poetic work known. Stefano M. Cingolani (Rome, 1956) will speak next. He has a PhD in Romance Philology from the University of La Sapienza and is the author of a dozen studies on medieval Catalan history and literature, including a biography of Peter the Great, the critical edition of Lo Somni by Bernat Metge and Sant Jordi, a millennial legend. Cingolani, who has been living in Vilafranca since 2021, is the author of the poetry collections Lo veo por la voz (2019) and Mendigo (2024). The evening will be closed by the translator and poet Xavier Zambrano, who was awarded the Josep Maria López Picó de Vallirana prize for his latest poetry collection Duró (2017).

At the end of the presentation, a glass of wine will be served and books by the authors will be available for purchase. We invite you to attend.
