OVERFLOW — APERITIVO SFOGO Roma Paris Bar, Corso Trieste, 130 31 gennaio alle 18:30 Costo: 15€ Ci sono momenti in cui non serve capire tutto.

Un tavolo, un drink, conversazioni libere. Si racconta, si ride, ci si sfoga delle cose allucinanti delle ex relazioni. Senza giudizio, senza pressioni, senza dinamiche forzate. Non è terapia.

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).

ITINERARY : Spanish Steps, Sallustian Obelisk and the revolution of Rome's city planning, Aqua Virgo, Trevi Fountain, Galleria Alberto Sordi, Pantheon Piazza Navona DISTANCE: 1\.87 km \| 1\.16 miDuration: 2 hrs TIP-BASED tour: You pay what you want at the end. If you pay based on your satisfaction, you encourage quality work and discourage substandard work.

**Social Breakfast & Book Swapping** by Pignetismi is a relaxed morning gathering where we come together to eat, talk, and exchange books. No pressure, no performances, no expectations. Just people, stories, and time. We’ll share thoughts on the book *Perfection* by Vincenzo Latronico, which we read in the Pignetismi Book Club (in English). You’re very welcome to join even if you haven’t read the book. Bring a book you’ve loved (in any language) and are ready to let go of, and you might leave with a new one — or simply with a new conversation. You’re also welcome to come even if you don’t bring a book. Presence is enough. We’ll share breakfast together, sit around the table, and make space for connection across cultures, languages, and experiences. English will be the main language, but accents, imperfections, and mixed languages are more than welcome. This is not a networking event. It’s a community moment. Book Club > Perfection by Latronico 📚 Book swapping: wrap a book (used or new) to swap 🌍 Open to international & local community [Join our WhatsApp community for updates or any change of location.](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ci5vQADX7326vFXqB3wWU3 "https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ci5vQADX7326vFXqB3wWU3") [Follow us on Instagram to see what we’re up to :)](https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/ "https://www.instagram.com/pignetismi/")
