FILL is an ambitious festival of literature and ideas envisioned by the Italian community based in London; the events are addressed to all Londoners. An event inspired by Italian culture turns into a broader occasion for discussion and cultural exchange. The first edition in 2017 has involved 41 speakers; Italian, British and international authors from different backgrounds; established writers and emerging ones willing to discuss literature and contemporary issues. FILL provides an image of Italy removed from the usual stereotypes, and addresses the specificities of new emerging communities within the city of London.
