readings for little lolò
from 10.30 am to 12 noon
Trieste Contemporanea celebrated Leonor Fini’s birthday on 30 August , 2024 with a Secret Party for Leonor Fini. Now follows an appointment for children to learn about the surrealist artist: Readings for Little Lolò. The volunteers of Nati per Leggere are inviting all families with children from 4 years of age to take part into a special event, which will take place on Sunday 22 September, from 10.30 am to 12 noon, at via del Monte, 2/1.
During the event, participants will take a journey through a twentieth-century Trieste, and will imagine to read today’s stories to a little girl from the past, the young Lolò. The inspiration for the readings will be Corrado Premuda‘s book Un pittore di nome Leonor. Da Trieste a Parigi (2015, Editoriale Scienza), which explores the wild youth of Leonor Fini.
Activity: After the readings, children will take part in a theme-based creative workshop with the writer Costanza Grassi.
Participation is free, but reservation is required.
Reservation: Send a message (preferably via WhatsApp) to 3493256747, including the child’s name and age, as well as the name of the accompanying parent or other adult.
