Reading is a journey—one that can be deep, thought-provoking, and full of meaning. Yet, the joy of discovering stories makes even the heaviest words feel light. That’s the essence of "Leggère", a playful fusion of "lèggere" (to read) and "leggère" (light), reflecting our passion for literature as both enriching and enjoyable.
Our online book club is a space for Italian language lovers and literature enthusiasts to come together, explore compelling stories, and dive into the cultural, historical, and linguistic depths of each book—all in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Join us to find inspiration, conversation, and a community of fellow learners & readers.

Set in a small rural village in southern Italy during the sweltering summer of 1978, Io non ho paura is a gripping coming-of-age novel that follows nine-year-old Michele as he stumbles upon a shocking secret—one that will challenge his innocence, his sense of justice, and his understanding of the adult world.
