Among the most interesting meetings scheduled on the opening day of the Fair we point out, apart from a Lectio magistralis by Baricco, unfortunately, skipped at the last moment, Nadeesha Uyangoda who presented, with Nadia Terranova, her book The only black person in the room. The Italian author also presented the new Mosche d’oro series to follow. Among the subsequent appointments, the journalist and school and university expert Gianna Fregonara spoke about her volume The power of the Pied Piper. From fake news to digital populism. Also present were Simona Argentieri, Antonio Bicchi, Mario Morcellini and Gianni Riotta. Then Serena Dandini, Valerio Aprea, and Giancarlo Zanchini gave their contribution.
