Porto Cervo Libri closed with a bang, hosting Marianna Aprile and Luca Telese for the final event of the season.

Tomorrow at 7:30 pm, in the Piazzetta della Marina Nuova in Porto Cervo, next to the Costa Smeralda Yacht Club and above Insula, the exhibition center for Sardinian agri-food excellence managed by Cipnes Gallura, the curtain will fall on the 2025 Consorzio Costa Smeralda literary festival. It will do so with a meeting with the two journalists and television hosts, who will present their latest book, "Materiali Resistenti," which instantly became a box office hit after its publication in May.

Liliana Segre, Don Ciotti, Filomena Gallo, Oliviero Toscani, Emergency, young Italians without citizenship, and those defending rights and the Constitution: the volume offers a two-voiced journey through the stories of those who still believe the country's course can be changed. "This book, if you like, aims to be a shield and an arsenal of ideas that shares the spirit of our daily television program on La7, entitled On Air, to Survive the Harsh Times, Bad Politics, and Be Happy," explain Marianna Aprile and Luca Telese.

"Resistant Materials" offers, in effect, a journey through the small and large forms of "industrious hope" that the two authors have explored in recent years. "The truth is that Luca and I, as we met and recounted them to each other, had no hesitation in considering them forms of resistance," adds Marianna Aprile, "ways in which individuals, small groups, or communities try to do the right thing in a country that often heads in the wrong direction, whenever, that is, there are tears in the fabric of values that form the DNA of our Constitution."

So, Telese. "These stories," says the respected editorialist for L'Unione Sarda, who since last year has been editor of the Abruzzo daily Il Centro, "start from a belief that today seems almost vintage: that each of us, preferably together with others, can improve the space around us, no matter how large. A pre-political, non-partisan, and therefore transversal belief."

Admission to the event is free and open to the public. The meeting will be moderated by journalist Davide Mosca.
