Date: March 26, 2026 (Thursday)

Time: 7:00pm

Venue: CPD-2.37, 2/F., The Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus, The University of Hong Kong


STORIES OF BOOKS is a reading performance created and showcased by Enrico Paci featuring music by Tarek Komin that tells the story of the book through the history of the Paci Publishing Bookstore LA TIFERNATE in Città di Castello and the reprinting of great classics of Italian literature, with a particular focus on Carlo Collodi’s text The Adventures of Pinocchio.


The show weaves together narration, historical insight, and visual suggestions, guiding the audience into the stories, lives, and passions surrounding the making of a book: from the author to the illustrator, and finally to the printer.


The performance also brings along small elements from the exhibition connected to the project, integrating objects from the original period such as preparatory drawings, linoleum matrices, historical advertisements, and original volumes which become an integral part of the stage narrative, transforming the event into an immersive experience that merges word, object, and typographic memory.

The event is co-organized by Italian Cultural Institute Hong Kong.
