On Friday 13 November 2026 at 9 pm, the Biblioteca Civica "Italo Calvino" in Balangero hosts Ivan Marchetti for the presentation of "Di ritorni, lotte e cannocchiali", the second chapter of the Trilogia del Cannocchiale. The evening is an interview with the author, with space to talk about how the book came about and the themes running through the narrative. At the heart of the story are the brothers Franky and Jimmy Genesio, facing an American multinational determined to build its Italian headquarters right in the middle of their park. The neighbourhood responds with nonviolent resistance, amid personal stories and a struggle that is as uneven as it is concrete. The event is organised by the Comune di Balangero in collaboration with the Biblioteca Civica. Free admission.
