The race of "Italians." One hour of life in two thousand characters

C down onto a view of a special occasion.

On December 3, 2008 "Italians" , the forum with Beppe Severgnini , is ten years old. For the occasion, the Corriere della Sera and Rizzoli Books propose a collective exercise of writing: "Italians, a day in the world." Choose one hour of your day, and in raccontatela 2,000 (two thousand) characters.

You have one month, until 31 October. From 1 to 15 November you can vote the 240 best entries (ten for every hour of the day) . On December 3, will become an e-book, which can be downloaded from the network: "Italians, a day in the world." A Polaroid of words, a snapshot of the new Italian diaspora which is added to the book that Beppe Severgnini has written for decades, recounting his travels and his encounters with readers on five continents: "Italians - Around the World in 80 pizza "(Rizzoli, 30 October)

I participated myself without taking myself too seriously with this short story entitled 21:00 hours Opening of the Show "in Bari . If you like you can vote for it at the link below.

Thanks.
