Tiziano Terzani: portrait of a connoisseur
This conference has a twofold aim: on one hand to celebrate the donation to the Giorgio Cini Foundation of Tiziano Terzani’s personal library by his widow Angela Staude Terzani and, on the other, to unveil the Study Centre for Comparative Studies of Civilisations and Spirituality. The new Centre will adopt a comparative and intercultural approach with a special emphasis on religious and spiritual dimensions of the civilisations being studied and compared.
It will also have a broader outlook to take in the most important spiritual traditions in the world and not only Oriental ones.
The conference organised by Àlen Loreti will explore all aspects of the complex, manysided figure of Tiziano Terzani with the aim of arriving at a portrait free of the kinds of prejudices and clichés that have previously clouded discussion on this writer, journalist and major fi gure in contemporary Italian culture (Mondadori have recently published his complete works in the “Meridiani” series).
