Immortalità e scrittura: Parole contro l'Oblio | Luca Cena | TEDxRovigo
Il libraio antiquario Luca Cena racconta il potere delle parole e dei libri di attraversare le epoche. Un invito a lasciare tracce di sé attraverso la scrittura e la memoria. Nasco nel 1985 e cresco tra le atmosfere delle librerie, grazie ai miei genitori, librai antiquari. Nel 2010, dopo la laurea in giurisprudenza, inizio a lavorare nella libreria di famiglia: un’esperienza preziosa che mi ha formato profondamente. Con il tempo, però, è nato in me il desiderio di creare qualcosa di nuovo e personale. Così, nel 2019, dopo nove anni di pratica e con mia madre elsie, ho fondato a torino white lands rare books, una libreria antiquaria dove rarità e curiosità librarie si fondono in un’esperienza unica. oltre ai libri, coltivo la passione per gli oggetti insoliti, creando una mia wunderkammer che affascina i visitatori. sono autore de il biblionauta (mondadori), un omaggio ai libri e alla loro storia, intrecciata alla mia. Per me i libri antichi sono portali tra passato, presente e futuro: ogni pagina racchiude insegnamenti che guidano il mio cammino.
