Tre giorni nella vita

La Casa de la Poesía es justamente eso: una casa, y como todas las casas tiene anfitriones que abren la puerta y ofrecen el vino fraterno de los poetas. Raffaella y Sergio tienen el extraño don del calor y del pan, los elementos que sostienen la vida. La Casa de la Poesía es universal, babélica e imprescindible. Y Raffaella y Sergio se encargan de que tenga el aroma del SUR. – Luis Sepùlveda

I am very impressed by the Casa della Poesia at Baronissi (Salerno), especially by the wonderful poetry events at the Casa, and by the growing library & poetry in many languages. The organizers, Raffaella Marzano and Sergio Iagulli, are great hosts! I am very grateful for their hospitality… – Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Casa della Poesia is a true internationalist headquarters for poetry. And as such it is a very unique and culturally, absolutely indispensable. The huge library of world poetry, the programs of readings are not only of deep literary significance but they serve to bring writers together along with their audience and strengthen the cosmopolitan ties of world intellectuals and thoughtful lovers of poetry, for the world’s good. – Amiri Baraka

Thank you for helping us all. May the Casa della Poesia continue to flourish! – Leonard Cohen

Casa della poesia: un tetto per un’ arte vagabonda che nel 1900 ha viaggiato alla deriva di esili, migrazioni, oppure nei centimetri di celle e recinzioni. Casa della poesia: suo posto è nelle strade, nelle stive, nei quaderni scritti e seppelliti tra le radici di un albero in un campo di concentramento, sulla carta di sacchi di cemento, nell’ unghia una scheggia di carbone. Casa della poesia: succursale di addii che trovano un riparo, un asilo per passi pellegrini. Il grazie di un sorriso a chi ha pensato per la poesia, a una casa. – Erri De Luca

Casa Della Poesia is a diverse flower, which blooms with each poet’s shouts of love, anguish, sorrow and joy. Poets marginalized by politics, war, indifference or oppression, can unite as one collective tool of peace and social justice in the shelter of truth, Casa Della Poesia. – Genny Lim

The Casa della Poesia of Baronissi and the Multimedia Edizioni which is its publishing project has proven itself – over more than a decade of works – to be one of the most principled and culturally and politically engaged projects in all of Europe. Not simply because of the many international festivals which Sergio Iagulli and Raffaella Marzano have organized at multilingual levels, nor for the many bilingual books they are published of some of the most engaged poets in the world – but their understanding of the Other America – which has seen them welcome, in person and print, poets like Etel Adnan, Sarah Menefee, Devorah Major, Paul Laraque, Piri Thomas, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Janine Pommy Vega and myself, has brought about a truly genuine relationship between the those who write for and of the most oppressed levels of the Americas and their brothers and sisters in Italy.
Long Live the good works of Casa della Poesia and Multimedia Edizioni! – Jack Hirschman
