Beyond the Page | First Meeting: Ester Trimarco and Karin Longhini

About the event

Oltre la pagina. Storie, libri e vissuti che uniscono is a new series of events conceived as a space for gathering, listening and sharing through literature and the personal experiences of six authors. The series is open to women and men, young people and adults alike: writing becomes a starting point for talking about life and going "beyond". Each meeting is not just a presentation but a dialogue around the day's theme, in which the authors open a door onto their own world and invite the audience to step through it.

The first meeting, titled "R-esistere e rinascere. Quando la vita ci mette alla prova" ("Resisting and being reborn. When life puts us to the test"), addresses resilience and rebirth: life's blows, difficulties, inevitable changes and the "roller coasters" that test us hard, to the point of losing the sense of everything, but which can also open the way to deep awareness.

Ester Trimarco is the author of "Lascia che sia" (Gruppo Albatros Il Filo, 2023) and "Nascere due volte" (Independently published, 2026). Karin Longhini is the author of "#Smilesempre" (Independently published, 2026).
