## Whatsapp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/EcNvCIJkBYX44Q18qYie01?mode=gi_t Ever wished you could explore Rome while actually meeting people, not just walking past them? This is a **social breakfast and walk hosted by a local**, created for travelers, expats, and anyone curious about experiencing Rome in a relaxed, human way. We meet over breakfast, get to know each other, then wander through the city together, letting conversation and curiosity guide the walk. This is **not a guided tour** and there’s no fixed route. Think of it as exploring Rome with new friends rather than following an itinerary. ### What we'll do * Meet for an Italian breakfast and casual introductions * Take an easy social walk through central Rome ( Piazza del Popolo- Spagna- Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo) * Pause at a few spots to chat, take photos, and mingle * End near the Vatican City, with the option to continue to lunch together ### What’s included * Breakfast of your choice (drink + pastry) * A small traditional snack during the walk * A relaxed, small-group experience * Hosted in English by a local, with everyone free to speak any language ### Optional tip At the end of the walk, there will be an **optional tip or donation** for the host. This is never expected, but always appreciated if you enjoyed the experience and helps us cover the cost of organizing these walks. ### Important: how to join FREE TO JOIN Once registered, you’ll save your spot and also you can join our Whatsapp group linked above If you enjoy slow walks, good conversation, and meeting people from around the world, this event is for you

Nella vita di ogni persona accadono delle coincidenze particolari. Questo evento si rivolge a coloro che sono curiosi di conoscere storie di coincidenze affascinanti e spesso miracolose. Avremo a disposizione dei libri che raccolgono decine di storie VERE di coincidenze. Sceglierò per voi le più belle. Tranquilli, nessuna noia: si leggono in tre minuti ciascuna! E le risate sono assicurate. Anche io racconterò le mie esperienze (non a caso ne sono molto appassionato) e daro' alcuni suggerimenti per avere qualche vantaggio. Ogni partecipante se vuole potrà farlo. L 'evento non ha scopo né di lucro né di vendita libri. Di solito possiamo occupare gratuitamente il tavolo della caffetteria; a volte basta consumare un semplice caffè. ( * Può sembrare una iniziativa strana, ma già anni fa il direttore di rai notte Gabriele La Porta raccoglieva le esperienze dei telespettatori, molte delle quali ha poi pubblicato in un libro).

## Un format che invita ad andare oltre la copertina delle persone, delle storie, dei luoghi (comuni), e creare relazioni di valore. Dopo il successo dell’evento realizzato a settembre, nel corso della Rome Future Week, prosegue la collaborazione fra ReadMeet e TuSai. Questa volta l’appuntamento è alla libreria caffè letterario Mangiaparole, uno dei luoghi storici della vita culturale romana, nel pieno del quartiere Appio Latino, a due passi dal cinema Trianon e dalla fermata Furio Camillo della metro. Da un lato **Readmeet**, un’app di incontri e networking di valore che utilizza i libri invece delle foto per costruire match e relazioni, non soltanto d’amore ma anche di amicizia. Basata su una logica da Community, ha al suo interno anche canali social dedicati ad argomenti legati ai libri, alle relazioni d’amore e alla lettura. Nel canale YouTube sono disponibili videointerviste agli scrittori più amati e di successo. Dall’altro **TuSai**, il progetto internazionale ESG di sostenibilità sociale olistica che ha al centro il benessere delle persone e che propone percorsi e workshop che integrano l’arte, la mindfulness e la condivisione orizzontale tra i partecipanti. **Il 31 maggio TuSai e Readmeet fanno “match” negli spazio della Libreria Caffè Letterario Mangiaparole in via Manlio Capitolino 7/9 a pochi passi passi dalla Stazione M Furio Camillo.** Ancora una volta fulcro dell’attività sarà un workshop esperienziale firmata TuSai, creato per chi non si accontenta di uno swipe sul cellulare ma crede nel valore delle interazioni umane. In un tempo in cui si cerca di conoscersi in pochi secondi, “Conoscersi tra le Righe: quando l’amore nasce leggendo” invita ad attivare creatività e ascolto personale per leggere (e lasciarsi leggere), tra le righe. Evento gratuito, Prenotazioni obbligatoria, posti limitati [https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/](https://www.tusaiforpeople.com/readmeet/) ## Cosa faremo insieme: Guidati dalla metodologia creativa di **TuSai**, i *Meeters* avranno modo di conoscere sé stessi e gli altri tramite il gioco e la lettura, e prenderanno parte ad un workshop esperienziale che vuole fa cambiare prospettiva sul dating. * **Creatività, letture condivise, pratiche di presenza e momenti di dialogo reale.** Una serata diversa, in cui, tramite disegni e colori, si prenderà contatto con le proprie emozioni e la fantasia dei libri per dar forma ad un linguaggio universale: quello dell’empatia, dell’ascolto profondo e di un sentire condiviso che sorprende a ogni incontro. * **Incontri & Networking di alto valore.** Per un’esperienza immersiva che va oltre lo swipe, oltre i luoghi comuni, oltre le prime impressioni. * **Introspezione e relazione:** un’esperienza relazionale e trasformativa, dove ogni pagina è un pretesto per raccontarsi, e ogni incontro un potenziale specchio di ciò che conosci, sai…e sei. * **Libri, libri, ed ancora libri.** Ad ogni partecipante sarà proposto di portare con se un libro che lo/la rappresenta: il resto si scriverà insieme. ##### **E non finisce qui…** Scopri di più e prenotati GRATIS a questo link, i posti sono limitati !

Join us as we discuss our June pick: Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider! Book description: Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta–the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people–and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true. Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart. Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, METAL SLINGER is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php) PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show.

We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show! Should be a fun one, Dan

Welcome, readers! Our May read is **_Kindred_ by Octavia E. Butler.** The story follows Dana, a Black woman living in 1976 California, who is suddenly pulled back to a Maryland plantation before the Civil War. She learns her survival is tied to a white slaveholder’s son. Forced to move between centuries, she must endure the brutal realities of slavery while fighting to hold on to her identity. Tense, intimate, and unforgettable, Kindred explores how the past refuses to stay buried. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
