OGR Turin, Speakers' Corner

An OGR Turin event in collaboration with Mondadori

Fully booked

On Saturday, June 27 at 6.30 PM, at the Speakers' Corner of OGR Turin, Gianluca Gotto, in dialogue with Sara De Santis, will present his new novel Ci basterà mangiare il vento, published by Mondadori.

Set between Singapore and Turin, the book follows the journey of a man who, after years spent pursuing an ideal of balance and detachment from pain, finds himself questioning everything he once believed to be true.

Through his encounter with Giorgia, a woman who embodies life's unpredictability and intensity, the protagonist discovers that well-being does not necessarily mean the absence of suffering, but rather the ability to embrace emotions, relationships, and change.

An intense and heartfelt novel that explores universal themes such as self-discovery, love, healing from the wounds of the past, and the courage to live fully in the present.
