Umbria Region organizes from 23 years Umbrialibri to characterize the promotion of culture and reading in Umbria and to enhance regional publishing.

The particularity of Umbrialibri consists in the strong connection between national and regional cultural production, with the full involvement of Umbrian publishers, in the dual role of exhibitors and cultural promoters of their own publications. The second element that characterizes the event is the identification, for each edition, of a theme around to which the program of initiatives is articulated: lectures, comparisons, debates and conferences, as well as book presentations and projects, to which are called to to participate by prestigious names from the academic and journalistic world, writers and critics, scholars and intellectuals of national and international importance.

Umbrian publishing, within each edition of Umbrialibri, is the protagonist of an exhibition-market that allows to fully grasp the general physiognomy of the sector, as well as the peculiar characters of each publisher. There are more than 40 exhibitors involved.

_Voci dal natìo borgo selvaggio _is the main theme of Umbrialibri 2017, which will take place to: Foligno, from friday 22 to Sunday, Sept. 24, between the former Piermarini Theater, the former Reclusorio Pio and Spazio Zut!; Perugia, from friday 6 to Sunday, Oct. 8, at the San Pietro Monumental Complex; Terni, from friday 12 to Sunday, Oct. 14, at the BCT (Municipal Library) and PalaSì.

The Perugia edition will also host, as in previous years, RadioEuropa, the Rai Radio3 party, which will broadcast from Perugia its programs for listeners from all over Italy while telling, at the same time, about Umbria and its cultural proposals, with a special focus on Umbrialibri and its protagonists.

On the occasion of Spoleto60, Umbrialibri is the guest of Festival dei Due Mondi with an extraordinary edition of the Umbrian publishing exhibition-market in Piazza della Signoria during the second weekend of the festival.
