Millante facce. Racconti dal Salento

The peasant civilization of the post-war period, the patronal feasts, emigration. The Sacra Corona Unita, the landings since the nineties, the explosion of tourism with the consequent "transformation" of tradition into fashion and the exploitation of the landscape without foresight. These are just some of the many aspects of Salento, of which Piero Manni speaks in “Millante facce. Racconti del Salento ". The book, which brings together stories written from 1983 to 2020, is presented in the spaces of the Koreya Theater during a meeting moderated by the journalist Marcello Favale, in which Antonio Errico, Angelo Salento and Salvatore Tramacere take part.

Born in '44 in Soleto, who passed away in May 2 years ago, Piero Manni taught for over 20 years in prisons and in 1984 he founded, together with his wife Grazia D’Oria, the Manni publishing house. Some passages of the book, written with great attention to the roots of the territory, the only way to notice modern distortions, are read during the meeting by the actresses and actors of Koreja.
