Dal 2 to 30 March at the Locanda del Cerriglio in Naples
the fourth edition of the 'Winter Edition' of the Festival born in Massa Lubrense
Three Mondays at 18.00
From President Trump, leader of American Christian nationalism, to the declining role of the regions in the political scene, up to a sensational case of cyber espionage against the director of an investigative newspaper. Exciting and varied, the themes of the fourth winter edition of the International Journalism and Investigation Book Festival. A festival of events full of authors and guests of the highest level, which will take place at the Locanda del Cerriglio, the historic restaurant in Naples that returns to take on culture and in-depth analysis after the successes of the first three editions.
Born from an idea of the entrepreneur and CEO of the Gocce Group, Marco Cocurullo, and the journalist of the daily Fatto Vincenzo Iurillo, with the collaboration of Max Civili, the Festival – inaugurated in the summer 2021 successfully in Massa Lubrense and in 2023 also arrived in Naples – is ready to welcome three appointments on Monday at 3:00 pm 18:00 in the historic room that hosted Caravaggio. The organization is managed by the cultural association that bears the name of the Festival, chaired by journalist Domenico Rubio. The event is sponsored by the Ad Astra foundation. The artistic direction of the event is signed by Vincenzo Iurillo.
Monday 2 March hours 18:00: Germana Tappero Merlo will present hers “Trump, the armed messiah” (Tangram), book that starts from Trump called to revive the fortunes of the USA, to then outline the characteristics of Christian nationalism through personalities such as Ronald Reagan, preachers Billy Graham and C. Peter Wagner, and members of the current administration, come JD Vance, up to their ideological heir, the “young martyr for America” Charlie Kirk. Interview by Max Civili with the intervention of M5s deputy Gaetano Amato.
Monday 16 March hours 18:00: It will be the turn of the sociologist Isaia Sales and the columnist Pietro Spirito, authors of 'The Regions are still needed' (Colonnese) dialogue with the president of the regional council of Campania, the dem Massimiliano Manfredi, on the usefulness of the regions. Taking inspiration from a book that spans Italian political history between centralism, autonomist impulses, failed and promised reforms. Interviews by the president of the Campania journalists' association, Ottavio Lucarelli.
Monday 30 March hours 18:00: The winter review will end with 'The enemy within – Paragon Case, spies and regime methods in Giorgia Meloni's Italy (Rizzoli) by Francesco Cancellato. The author, Fanpage director, newspaper author of numerous and incisive investigations into the Melonian ultra-right, recounts his experience as the victim of a still unclear espionage operation. More than a year ago his phone was hacked by spyware. He will discover in the following days that it is Graphite, produced by the Israeli company Paragon, which sells its use exclusively to governments and intelligence services. It is normal for journalists and activists to be spied on in a democracy? We will ask ourselves this with the former national anti-mafia prosecutor and M5s deputy, Federico Cafiero De Raho, in a debate moderated by communications expert Natale De Gregorio.
