Details

The Italian writer Andrea Marcolongo, based in Paris, is one of the most outstanding figures in European thought today. A profound connoisseur of ancient Greece and Rome, her works have been characterized by the recovery of classical teachings and knowledge that, even today, can illuminate our present. As a staunch advocate of linking that period with the present, there is no one better than her to reflect on today's Europe and how it is not only intimately related to these two classical civilizations, but also should not forget to return to them to find the answers to its present. Because, as he says, “everything that is happening now in Europe has already happened”.

He will talk with journalist Irene Hernández Velasco. She worked for El Mundo as a correspondent in New York, Rome, London and Paris, until 2023, when she joined El Confidencial where she is head of Culture.

At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of her books.
