The guests who will speak about their work are Susanna Tamaro, very popular with the readers, journalist and writer Paolo Rumiz, and several times awarded Antonio Scurati. Giorgio Agamben and Franco Berardi, two prominent Italian philosophers, will appear in Ljubljana as well, along with the author, editor and filmmaker Elisabetta Sgarbi.
Book Fair in numbers
