Organised by the “Assessorato alla Promozione Turistica” and the Manifestazioni del Comune di Sanremo”, it will take place from 15/12/06 to 15/03/07. Another interesting exhibition – about the connection between painting and writing – a tribute to the Piemonte-born writer Romano, will take place at the Museo Civico of the Palazzo Borea d’Olmo, via Matteotti, Sanremo, from 18/11/06 to 07/01/07.
The exhibition is also a celebration of the anniversary of her birth, a hundred years ago ( Demonte ( CN ), 11/11/1906 ). It will be mainly about the relationship between the Liguria literature and its many writers ( Eugenio Montale, Francesco Biamonti, Italo Calvino, Mario Soldati, Giovanni Ermiglia, Friedrich Von Kleudgen).
Most of the material exposed comes from the Milan home of the writer , which has almost become a museum, containing thousands of books, documents, photographs, and other belongings of Lalla Romano.
They are all there to tell the story of both her carreer and her private life.
