Ethno’s 2026 Literary Festival brings words, memories and stories to Perfugas and Martis.
A cultural journey through churches, squares and museums, weaving together readings, literary events, awards and events dedicated to contemporary art.
The literary festival between Perfugas and Martis continues in the autumn with an event dedicated to Grazia Deledda, marking the centenary of her being awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Among the events, the reading on Grazia Deledda in Martis brings the writer’s voice to life through letters, short stories and excerpts from some of her works, accompanied by music.
Ethno’s Literary Festival 2026 thus celebrates the community’s local areas through stories, voices and narratives, fostering a dialogue between literature, memory, music and the local area.
