A series of meetings dedicated to three great figures of 20th-century European literature: Anna Maria Ortese, Simone de Beauvoir, and Christa Wolf. An opportunity to explore the works and thoughts of authors who have left their mark on the contemporary cultural landscape, through dialogue with scholars and researchers. The programme offers moments of analysis and discussion that intertwine literature, philosophy, and the history of thought, providing the public with new tools for interpreting the present through the voices of female writers.

• 17 April – Simone de Beauvoir, with Carlotta Cossutta, researcher in political philosophy at the University of Milan.
