Description
The Festival Poestate, founded thirty-one years ago in Lugano, has taken a pioneering role in Switzerland and left a deep impression on the cultural activities of Lugano and the Canton of Ticino, as at that time there was no poetry festival, no literary event, nothing of the sort. So much so that in the following years, Poestate paved the way for various literary events and festivals that adopted Poestate's approach, thus also opening the way for publishing productions that until then were only a fringe phenomenon. The Festival Poestate, founded three decades ago in Lugano, is the oldest and, due to its impressive historiography, the most significant in Switzerland. Each edition is a program success with numerous extraordinary guests from home and abroad, a high number of participants, and a high project frequency, always together with a fantastic audience in the beautiful small patio of the Palazzo Civico in Lugano. The program can be followed on Facebook/POESTATE, a constantly updated page. EntranceHighlights
- Oldest poetry festival in Switzerland
