Nuoro celebrates Salvatore Satta and "re-embraces" the Sardinian Regional Book Fair.

The Scientific Committee

The "direction" is entrusted to Angela Guiso, as mentioned. The Scientific Committee also includes Professors Carlo Felice Casula (emeritus of RomaTre), Luigi Nonne , and Rossana Ortu (full professors at the University of Sassari and the University of Nuoro). The initiative has received the patronage of the University of Sassari, the Higher Regional Ethnographic Institute of Sardinia (ISRE), and the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome. "As a passionate devotee of Salvatore Satta," states Angela Guiso , "I can only be delighted with this initiative, which helps to highlight a writer with a 'sublime' style, now a hallmark of world literature: not only for the numerous translations of his work but also for the originality of his themes and images. A son of Sardinia and of the wider world, Salvatore Satta achieved a fascinating synthesis of literature and law, in a journey that led him to the top with diverse works, despite once conflicting opinions, now finally unanimous in recognizing his creative genius."

Three appointments

The three venues chosen for the study conferences correspond to emblematic places in Salvatore Satta's life. On October 10th, the conference will begin in Nuoro, his birthplace and the setting for his masterpiece, "Judgment Day . " Debates and discussions will continue at the Giovanni Lilliu Auditorium of the ISRE, on the hill of Sant'Onofrio . On October 17th, the conference will stop in Sassari, in the university's Aula Magna, the city where he studied high school and earned his degree, as well as important friends such as criminal lawyer Giacomo Delitala and Professor Lorenzo Mossa. Finally, on December 19th, the conference will move to Rome, his last residence and the site of his academic career at Sapienza University, where he served as dean of the Faculty of Law, at the headquarters of the Accademia dei Lincei (of which he was a member).
