{:en}It will be the naming ceremony of the Kursaal Palace's civic library after Professor Antonio Arecco that will open the first edition of \u201cLOA Reads in Every Corner,\u201d the weekend entirely dedicated to reading organized by the Loano Municipality's Department of Tourism, Culture and Sports with the collaboration of the Mondadori Bookstore the LoaLibri bookstore, the Oratory of Our Lady of the Rosary, the spontaneous group #cosavuoichetilegga, Unitre Loano, the Loano Gazette, the Falcone Institute, Yepp Loano, the Company of the Curious and with the artistic coordination of Monica Maggi of \u201cATuttoTondo.\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessor Arecco,\u201d explains Loano Mayor Luigi Pignocca, \"represented for years one of the most distinguished personalities in the cultural landscape of our Loano. Thanks to his tireless activity as a researcher, historian, writer and popularizer, Antonio Arecco has helped to transmit the history and traditions of the city to many generations of Loyotees. A treasure of culture that, were it not also for him and his publications, would probably have been largely lost. We therefore feel it is our duty to name our civic library after him, which holds many copies of his works and which it is the intention of our administration to make increasingly a cradle of culture and knowledge. By dedicating our library to him, we will contribute to keeping forever alive the memory of Arecco, a character who belongs to all intents and purposes to the history of our city, that same history whose knowledge he helped to safeguard and transmit to posterity.\".<\/p>\n
During 2017, Loano obtained the status of \u201cCity that Reads,\u201d a recognition issued by the circuit of the \u201cCenter for Books and Reading\u201d (Cepell) in agreement with Anci and aimed at promoting and enhancing municipalities committed to continuously carrying out public policies to encourage reading in their territory. In addition to Loano, only Cervo, Ameglia and Genoa are \u201cCities that Read\u201d in Liguria.<\/p>\n
Last March 9, Councillor for Tourism, Culture and Sports Remo Zaccaria participated in the \u201cRethinking the City through Books\u201d convention held as part of the international publishing fair \u201cTempo di Libri\u201d in Milan. In addition to the Loano alderman at the fair were the other representatives of the 400 Italian municipalities that received the \u201cCity that Reads\u201d designation. The initiative was an opportunity to illustrate the results of the first \u201cPacts for Reading,\u201d present the winning projects of the 2017 calls for proposals dedicated to municipalities that have been awarded the status of \u201cCities that Read,\u201d and introduce the new public notice that will allow interested municipalities to participate in the network and join forces in the revitalization of reading.<\/p>\n
And this is what the Municipality of Loano also wanted to do, which on May 15 presented to the area's cultural associations the new \u201cPact for Reading\u201d approved by the Pignocca council. By adhering to the Pact, the intervening associations confirmed their willingness to support and participate in the cultural projects promoted by the administration and in particular the project of \u201cLOA Reads in Every Corner,\u201d which is perfectly in line with what are the guidelines of the \u201cCenter for Books and Reading\u201d on \u201cCities that Read.\u201d.<\/p>\n
For 2018, in fact, the theme of \u201cCity that Reads\u201d is spontaneous and street reading. With this in mind, the Cultural Office of the City of Loano has prepared the \u201cLOA Reads in Every Corner\u201d project, which includes spontaneous reading events in different parts of the city. The event will be held on the weekend of May 5 and 6 and is part of the \u201cPact for Reading,\u201d which aims to create a structured territorial network in order to \u201crestore value to the act of reading as an essential moment for the construction of a new idea of citizenship.\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year the project of \u2018LOA Reads in Every Corner\u2019 received a favorable evaluation by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities as part of the calls for proposals related to the \u2018City that Reads,\u2019\u2018 explains Culture Councillor Remo Zaccaria, \u2019Our administration has decided to focus firmly on this initiative as we believe it is a new and innovative way to encourage and promote reading, especially among the youngest. With this project we want to show that \u2018any place is good for reading\u2019 and that one does not read just to \u201dkill time' but for the pleasure of doing so and also and above all to derive personal enrichment from it. Above all, we want to show that reading is not a boring activity to be done in solitude, but can also be a fun time to be experienced in company.\".<\/p>\n
