Pignetismi Literary dinner: an evening of books and international friendsAn intimate literary gathering to share stories, ideas, and meaningful connections over dinner
*(Scroll down for english)*
Una **cena letteraria** pensata come una piccola parentesi del nostro book club: meno strutturata, più raccolta, dove il filo conduttore sarà la letteratura e le connessioni tra le persone, nello stile di Pignetismi.
📚 **Il leitmotiv della serata – Libri, relazioni e connessioni**
La serata si ispira a tre modi diversi di vivere le storie:
l’intensità delle relazioni di James Baldwin,
l’introspezione e il tempo sospeso di Virginia Woolf,
e la naturalezza delle connessioni contemporanee di Sally Rooney.
Come nei loro mondi narrativi, anche qui la conversazione sarà il vero cuore della serata: autentica, spontanea e senza giudizio.
👉 **IMPORTANTE: Porta con te il tuo libro del cuore**
Sarà il punto di partenza per raccontarti, ascoltare gli altri e lasciarti ispirare.

## **ENGLISH VERSION**
**Pignetismi Literary Dinner: An Evening of Books & International Friends**
*An intimate literary gathering to share stories, ideas, and meaningful connections over dinner*
If you love books and the conversations that grow around them, this is a special opportunity to experience the Pignetismi community in a more intimate way.
A **literary dinner** designed as a smaller, more personal extension of our book club — less structured, more relaxed, where literature becomes a way to connect.
📍 Location: Da Sobrio al Pigneto
📚 **The leitmotif of the evening – Books, relationships & connection**
The evening is inspired by three different ways of experiencing stories:
the emotional intensity of James Baldwin,
the introspection and suspended sense of time of Virginia Woolf,
and the natural, contemporary connections of Sally Rooney.
Just like in their works, conversation will be at the heart of the evening: authentic, spontaneous, and open.
👉 Bring your **favorite book**
It will be your way to share something about yourself and discover others.
