The Paris-based Italian writer Andrea Marcolongo is one of the leading figures in European thought today. A profound connoisseur of ancient Greece and Rome, her works have been characterised by the recovery of classical teachings and knowledge that, even today, can illuminate our present. As a staunch advocate of drawing threads between that period and the present day, there is no one better than her to reflect on Europe today and how it is not only intimately related to these two classical civilisations, but also how it should not forget to return to them to find the answers to its present. Because, as Marcolongo herself states, "everything that is happening now in Europe has already happened".
She will be in conversation with journalist Irene Hernández Velasco. She worked for El Mundo as a correspondent in New York, Rome, London and Paris until 2023, when she joined El Confidencial, where she is head of Culture.
At the end of the event, the author will sign copies of her books
