A journey between photography and literature to rediscover the Paris of the Belle Époque through the eyes of Marcel Proust.
Sunday, November 8, at 5.00 pm, Walking with Proust: images and words offers a cultural afternoon dedicated to the life and work of the famous French writer.
Starting from a collection of historical photographs of Paris from the second half of the nineteenth century, belonging to Gabriele Chiesa, Flavia Bettoni guides the audience through the streets, buildings, and neighborhoods that marked Proust's life. To enrich the journey, readings by Rossella Gheda taken from In Search of Lost Time, for a meeting between period images and literary pages that evoke the atmospheres of the French capital.
