Saturday, May 24, 2014   in Rome – “Crypt of Saint Lucia of the Banner” in Via dei Banchi Vecchi 12, it was held the presentation of the second edition of the book “Words of Bread” project anthology of short stories about food, promoted by the writers “Diana Sganappa” and “Emma Saponaro”. The participants, including myself, have presented a single story, published or unpublished, having the union as a fundamental principle of this project, because the ingredients are blended in the kitchen, and the pleasure is right there: When in one gulp all the flavors are combined, as in the words, a universe in which everyone can join. In one word: sharing. And the proceeds of the sales will be donated to the “Association of Family and Supporters Suffering psychic Tuscia” (A.fe.SO.psi.T), because the Words of bread are not “empty words”   but a book for those who have no voice.

And … the project continues …

And once again the meeting of everyone with whom he had spoken only via computer, as well as being poignant and uplifting, offered the opportunity to expose for a few moments some parts of themselves for a further extension on different approaches and styles of writing.

And as for last year’s edition has appeared to enjoy the wonder of everyone: all together in offering a choral writing.

Sunday, June 30, 2013 to the Library Gallery of Art the Universal – via “F. Caracciolo” 12 – Rome, was held the presentation of the book “Words of Bread” project anthology of short stories about food, promoted by Diana & Emma, in the persons of writers “Diana Sganappa” and “Emma Saponaro.” The participants, including myself, have presented a single story, published or unpublished, concerning a story about food, fictional, first-person lived or passed down from a family member of a past generation or another country.

It is a unanimous testimony of the changes in society with reference to food.

The proceeds of the anthology are intended for public and social purposes.

The process of evaluation and preparation of the text involving different professional and the event was attended by literary critics, University Professors, and it was punctuated by piano performance and theater.

In the realization of the project, the writers, according to competence and ability, have spoken for the preparation and organization of the event in its early stages.

The five award-winning short stories have been evaluated according to a rigorous process of self-assessment on the part of actors and literary critics with reflections on food, sociability, history and the present.

The meeting in the presence of everyone with whom he had interjected only via computer (resident in Italy and abroad), as well as being poignant and uplifting, it offered the opportunity to expose for a few moments some parts of itself for a further extension on the different approaches and styles of writing.

There was the wonder of everyone to rejoice: the writers are already in place for newbies and professionals in related activities to those of writing. All together in offering a choral work.

The ingredients of the project were mixed well and with an excellent leavening, offered a colorful display of writing styles with the ever-changing tastes like bread.

The book, the authors and the public have come up with something more. Everything was happily excess of the parties. Generous as the bread.
