The poet and the peasant. That is, the relationship between Joyce Lussu and Giovanna Serri , the first a writer, activist and intellectual, companion of Emilio Lussu, the second a peasant and weaver who managed the house and land of the Lussu family for fifty years. The literary festival Fino a Leggermi Matto closes its program on Friday at 8:30 pm at the Ticcu Social Club in Sassari, in vicolo Campanile. The singer-songwriter Claudia Crabuzza will present her “L' eredità delle donne di Casa Lussu”, a literary work resulting from the master's thesis discussed by the author at the University of Sassari.

A story that can be read as a research essay or as a novel, a family saga where the “spirit of the place” of the house seems to guide human events in opposite and nonconformist directions. An opportunity to affirm once again that history is also women's. Anti-fascism, resistance and the fight for women's emancipation in 'great' History are woven into a single plot with the minimal stories of private places, laboratories, kitchens, erroneously considered irrelevant in the official story. Instead, poetry, even in the harshness of times of work, sowing, harvesting, and in those of struggle, accompanies and supports existences, with the patience of natural cycles, with the strength of popular knowledge and with hope, building textures that include and heal, in defense of the social structures on which every human community is based.

Together with the author, Dilva Foddai, the weaver Rita Marras and the artist Zuanna Maria Boscani will present the pieces of the opera live.
