The 16th edition of Una Marina di Libri, a festival celebrating independent publishing, will be held at Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa in Palermo from June 5-8, 2025. The festival's theme, 'Il giro di boa,' honors Andrea Camilleri on the centenary of his birth.
The festival will feature 80 publishing houses and over 400 events across 20 locations. Special sections include children's publishing curated by Maria Romana Tetamo and 'I segni di Venere,' focusing on women, coordinated by Maria Giambruno.
A highlight for 2025 is 'La scoperta dell'Olanda,' a campaign strengthening cultural ties between Italy and the Netherlands. Organized by Associazione Una marina di libri E.T.S., the event is supported by various institutions and includes cultural projects, performances, visual arts, films, and book presentations.
