Poetry as a space for listening and reflection, in a new preview of an eagerly awaited event: the program of previews continues at the twelfth edition of the Emilio Lussu Prize Festival in Cagliari , with the next event on Friday featuring the presentation of " Riti pagani " (Nulla Die, 2025), in a dialogue between the author Giorgia Bruni and the journalist Lorella Costa in the spaces of Biancospino Dispensa , in Piazza San Cosimo 6 from 6 pm . A final aperitif will also be planned, in an event once again organized by the L'Alambicco association.

This year, too, the journey to the Festival unfolds through different literary languages and sensibilities, but always with the word at its center as a tool for investigating the present. Within this framework, Bruni's poetics takes on a perspective that is both intimate and universal in its exploration of profound themes. "Pagan Rites" is her first collection , divided into two sections in which verse becomes a form of research and exploration, exploring the sacred outside traditional canons in topics such as death, pain, and contemporary existence. Her writing thus reveals a tender yet restless gaze on humanity , poised between the need for meaning and an awareness of its fragility.

Born in Rome in 1990, Bruni graduated from Sapienza University with a thesis on Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life", and then obtained a PhD in cinema in 2019 with a study on the censorship of the author of "Salò": an interest that also led her to collaborate with the magazine "Studi Pasoliniani" and to write essays dedicated to the work of the Friulian writer and director. She also published her debut novel " La notte dell'addio " (2025) for Nulla Die.
