The year 2019 marks the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Primo Levi, a writer and chemist who, like no one else before him, was able to represent the Shoah and its echoes in literature. Levi’s precision and linguistic clarity make him one of the most significant Italian writers of the last century.

Professor Marco Belpoliti, a leading expert on Primo Levi, will hold a lecture on his latest book Primo Levi, di fronte di profilo (Primo Levi, Full Face and Profile). The event is moderated by Alexandra Amati.
