It is just ended in Milan, and I confess I have not been there, but BookCity is the first of this kind event about books held in Milan. It hosted about 80.000 visitors, was run by 350 volunteers, featured more than 300 events mostly located in Castello Sforzesco, and was meant for indie editors and bookstores, to benefit from visibility.
Unfortunately, booksellers weren't able to participate much, for they aren't equipped with ubiquitousness and somebody had to keep the store open. Lucio Morawetz - Utopia bookstore- and Danilo Dajelli - Spazio Gogol and Company- interviewed about the event said they were happy about it, mostly because of the need to refresh the relationship between them and the citizens.
