The leaning tower of Torre Gentile with Alessandro Grazioli

The leaning tower of Torre Gentile with Alessandro Grazioli

This week on The Italian Radio Hour - Holidays decorations have long been packed up. Daily routines have returned to be frantic but how do we build up and keep the spirit of kindness, gratitude, love, and acceptance all year around? Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Alessandro Grazioli, a passionate storyteller and cultural advocate hailing from Bergamo, Italy. Alessandro is the author of Il Gomitolo della Befana, a beautifully illustrated children’s book that weaves a magical tale about the Befana and her luminous yarn spun from the dust of the Christmas star. His work not only captures the hearts of young readers but also inspires creative adaptations, such as a dance performance brought to life by the ON-STAGE school of Bergamo. Beyond his literary achievements, Alessandro is deeply involved in promoting culture and community through his role as president of the Torre Gentile APS association. He is also an active contributor to SocialBG, a platform where he shares his thoughts on culture and society, fostering a connection with his local community. Join me as we explore Alessandro’s creative journey, his inspirations, and the impact of his work in bringing the spirit of the holidays.
