Whether you’re looking for new reading inspiration or just wouldn’t miss a chance to fly to the sunny bay of Naples even if only on the wings of your imagination, Il Corno is excited to invite you to its new Neapolitan Book Club. Led by Dr Greta Colombani, this is the first book club entirely dedicated to fiction about and around Naples, be it by Neapolitan authors or set in the city and the surrounding area (with all selected books available in English or in English translation). The rules are simple: book your spot, read the book, and show up for an evening of relaxed and friendly book chat over a glass of delightful Campania wine or of refreshing Italian lemonade. All are welcome, of course! To book your spot for one or all of the sessions register via Eventbrite. Then, once you arrive at the event, you can choose between two ticket options: £5 a glass of wine and tarallo; £3 a soft drink and tarallo.
