'Autori in Costa' turns five, with the 2025 edition kicking off July 30th.

The event is enhanced by the collaboration with the Costa Smeralda Consortium. Guests include Roberto Arditti, Mario Giordano, Gianni Ippoliti, Sergio Rizzo, Alessandro Sallusti, and Luca Zaia.
“Autori in Costa” turns five, the eagerly awaited literary salon organized by the newspaper La Ragione that returns to liven up the evenings on the Costa Smeralda. The 2025 edition, which will take place from July 30 to August 23 , is enriched by the prestigious collaboration with the Costa Smeralda Consortium , which joins the event's historic partners . The series of meetings will host authoritative names in journalism, essay writing, and institutions in exceptional locations.
The evenings , which begin at 7:00 PM, will be an opportunity to explore major current issues through presentations of the guests' most recent works. The discussions will be moderated by Fulvio Giuliani, Director of La Ragione .
"We live in an age of rapid and fragmented information, which is why we feel a strong responsibility to offer the public an oasis for thoughtful and in-depth debate," says Fulvio Giuliani. "This is a value that the Orlean Invest Holding group, owner of the Hotel Delle Rose and the backer of our newspaper, has always believed in, supporting cultural events that expand the summer offerings on the Costa Smeralda. The new collaboration with the Costa Smeralda Consortium is a source of great pride for us: it recognizes a shared commitment that exclusively benefits one of Italy's most fascinating and iconic destinations, whose care, preservation, and development the Consortium has historically dedicated itself to."
The event is made possible thanks to the support of the sponsor Ferrari Trento , the contribution of AdnKronos as editorial partner and the collaboration of the Hotel delle Rose as organizational partner .
The event will also live beyond the live events. Each meeting will feature exclusive content designed for the digital world—video highlights, insights, and social media insights—to amplify the debate and make it accessible to an even wider audience. This initiative is part of La Ragione's multiplatform strategy, which continues to experience significant growth and strong engagement on its digital channels, establishing itself as an authoritative voice in the online news landscape.
