On Tuesday, March 18, at 9 PM, Maurizio de Giovanni will be the protagonist of OGR Talks at OGR Torino to present L'antico amore, his latest novel, which marks a turning point in his literary journey. Mystery gives way to a love that that spans time, defying the barriers of the present, the past and an even more remote time, full of immortal echoes. A feeling that is strength and fragility, passion and torment, and becomes an eternal bond.

With two different narrative lines, de Giovanni recounts the passion of Catullus and the life of an elderly literature professor who experienced an overwhelming love that sealed his destiny. Through a journey between desire and pain, the story makes us reflect on how much love succeeds in defining our existence, even when it seems to break all limits.
