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 The participants, including myself, have presented a single story, published or unpublished, concerning a story about food, fictional, first-person lived or passed down from a family member of a past generation or another country.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.

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 book is available in hardcopy HERE

An anthology of 23 stories dedicated the world of women in the relationship with the sea, consisting of more or less well-known authors who have accepted the challenge to create a story while remaining within the maximum limit of 1000 characters.

The stories span several genres. They range from the dramatic relative to the impossible love, violence against women and the events giving rise to the ironic smile; the celebration of the sea and feelings to the fairy tale, the prose poetic and mythological references. In addition to the moral qualities you meditate sometimes on physical beauty, referring to the erotic impulses of the characters.

The 23 color illustrations created by “Diego Luci” highly evocative, and they capture the essence of the story that follows. The drop cap similar to medieval miniatures, they offer a fabulous manuscript, emerged as if by magic from the shelves of a library mysterious.
