An 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. 🗓 Giovedì 23 aprile 2026 ⏰ 20:30 – 22:30 📍 Location: Sobrio al Pigneto - Via Ettore Giovenale 58 🎟 Posti limitati: 15 persone La prenotazione tramite ticket è obbligatoria 🍽 **La cena – tra condivisione e relazioni** Un menù che richiama la convivialità e la semplicità della cucina italiana, pensato per accompagnare la conversazione e creare connessione. **Antipasti (condivisi):** – Patate chips e salvia fritta – Salumi misti – Formaggi misti – Pasticcio fave e cicoria – Pappa al pomodoro **Primi (a scelta):** – Pici cacio e pepe con pere croccanti oppure – Maltagliati con cicoria, pecorino e guanciale croccante **Secondi (a scelta):** – Parmigiana di melanzane oppure – Polpetta al sugo **Dolce:** – Tiramisù Inclusi acqua e pane (Eventuali altre bevande sono escluse) 💶 **Costo dell'intero menù:** 30€ La cena sarà pagata direttamente al locale **Seguici su Instagram per non perderti nessun aggiornamento: [Pignetismi](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/") e [Pignetismi Book Club](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/")** **[Leggi la nostra newsletter per review, libri, film aggiornamenti](https://pignetismi.substack.com/ "https://pignetismi.substack.com/")** **A presto! :)** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** ## **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. 🗓 Thursday, April 23, 2026 ⏰ 8:30 PM – 10:30 PM 🎟 Limited spots: 15 people Ticket reservation is required 🍽 **Dinner – a shared experience** A menu inspired by Italian conviviality and simplicity, designed to encourage connection and conversation. **Shared starters:** – Fried potato chips with sage – Mixed cured meats – Mixed cheeses – Fava beans & chicory dish – Pappa al pomodoro **First course (choice of):** – Pici cacio e pepe with crispy pears or – Maltagliati with chicory, pecorino & crispy guanciale **Main course (choice of):** – Eggplant parmigiana or – Meatballs in tomato sauce **Dessert:** – Tiramisù Water and bread included (Any additional drinks are not included) 💶 **Price:** €30 To be paid directly at the venue 🌿 **The spirit of the evening** This is not a typical book club. It’s a more intimate and welcoming space where talking about books becomes a way to truly connect. The rhythm of the dinner — slow, shared, and layered — creates the perfect setting for meaningful yet natural conversations. ✨ A night of stories, listening, and connection — on and beyond the page **Follow us on Instagram: [Pignetismi](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/") and [Pignetismi Book Club](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismibookclub/")** **[Read our newsletter for more books, movies, updates](https://pignetismi.substack.com/ "https://pignetismi.substack.com/")** A gathering to read, listen, share, and feel a little more at home. 📚✨ See you there!
