On the light earth - Sergio Atzeni 30 years later

Thirty years after the writer's passing, a series of initiatives are being planned to celebrate his relevance: the first event will take place on Saturday, September 6th with the dedication of the Small Auditorium.

In his book 'We Passed Lightly on Earth,' Sergio Atzeni imagined a people on a journey, an ancient heritage, a possible future. Thirty years after his passing, those words still resonate. That is why, on September 6th at 7:00 PM, the Municipality of Cagliari, with the support of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia and the Sardegna Foundation, chooses to remember him by dedicating the Piazzetta Dettori Small Auditorium to the writer who defined himself as 'Sardinian, Italian, European,' giving Atzeni a space in his city.

In the presence of Mayor Massimo Zedda, Councilor for Public Education, Cultural Heritage, Information, Entertainment and Sports of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, Ilaria Portas, and Councilor for Culture, Entertainment, and Tourism of the Municipality of Cagliari Maria Francesca Chiappe, the municipal administration will reopen the theater doors for one exceptional evening, 'We Passed Lightly on Earth - Sergio Atzeni 30 Years Later.' The event will begin with speeches from the writer's family and some friends and classmates from Liceo Siotto, in a sign of intimate and authentic remembrance. This will be followed by the original musical traces of Moses Concas, harmonicas, and urban sounds for a musical reinterpretation of Atzeni's imaginary world. To close the event, there will be a theater performance titled 'I Grew Up in Babel,' by and with Giovanni Carroni, which weaves biography and invention in the name of the enduring word.

An evening of words, music, and memories presented by journalist Andrea Frailis. Not just a simple tribute, but a collective journey through his writing. A performance intended not to limit him to memory, but to rejuvenate the urgency and vitality of his work. The Auditorium, a place of words, listening, and culture, becomes a living space where Atzeni's memory can continue to resonate with new generations of readers, artists, and citizens.
