On November 10, 2025, two different activities were held that were planned in projects funded by the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports. The first activity was the (third) Italian Music Forum (project Italian Music Forum in Tuzla 2025, grant for national minorities), and the second activity was the (second) literary forum (project Culture on a Colorful Palm, grant from the funds of games of chance) called "Libri" which was held in Živinice on November 10, 2025. The literary forum was held after the break of the Italian Music Forum, in the same space of the Red Cross workshop in Živinice. The activity was done in cooperation with the NGO Golden Age of Živinice, and about 20 participants present carefully followed the presenters who spoke about Italian writers. Mira Boro, an activist from Živinice, commented on the poetic part of the forum, during which she recited her favorite verses. Senad Begović and Goran Karišik, experts from the Tuzla Cultural Center, presented Stefania Auci, Tiziano Terzani, Chiara Gamberale and Umbero Eca. Modern Italian writers who have won awards and recognition for their works were presented, and the film „The Name of the Rose“ based on the novel by Eca was commented on, for which the participants showed special attention and stated that they would look for the book in the local library. The presenters were satisfied with the results of the discussion, and the participants expressed their praise, suggesting more such meetings where a country and its writers are thematically discussed. After the literary discussion, the participants were served refreshments, a modest snack and coffee.
The project is funded and supported by the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports.
