Isola del Libro

Isola del Libro Trasimeno is an association based in Passignano sul Trasimeno, Italy, dedicated to promoting books, reading and culture, while supporting tourism in the Lake Trasimeno area and on Isola Maggiore. Its activities bring readers, authors and local communities together through book presentations, literary cafés, interviews, conferences, meetings, exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events. The association also works with schools to encourage reading and introduce students to the processes involved in writing, publishing, printing and selling books.

Its broader aims include establishing the Premio Letterario Il Trasimeno and creating a permanent “Book Village” on Isola Maggiore, with spaces for displaying and selling books and sharing the island’s history, traditions and cultural identity. The initiative also seeks to make the island a showcase for reading and a meeting point for cultural life across the surrounding region. Isola del Libro Trasimeno publishes event news and video content featuring authors, books and cultural discussions, and intends to collaborate and engage in dialogue with local authorities and other partners
