"Lungomare di libri is back, the literary event that for the fifth consecutive year will transform the capital of Puglia into a large open-air bookshop – comments the Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Bari Paula Romano -. The protagonists are the booksellers and publishers of the territory, who in the three days at the end of June will animate a crossroads of meetings with authors from all over Italy in the symbolic places of our city. For this reason, together with Regione Puglia, Salone del Libro and Presidi del Libro, which I thank for having chosen to be once again alongside the municipal administration, we have opened a call to build this new edition from the bottom up and we are waiting for everyone for a first virtual meeting next week".

"Lungomare di libri – declares the Councilor for Culture of the Puglia Region Viviana Matrangola – has become a regular event for lovers of reading and culture in Bari and beyond. For five years, thanks to this initiative organized by the Municipality of Bari and supported by the Puglia Region, the Bari waterfront has become a great cultural showcase in which local bookshops make themselves known to readers through their selections of books, authors and reading itineraries. An important opportunity for discussion for booksellers and for all citizens who wish to actively participate in the cultural life of the city".
