Giardini Reali
The festival confirms its taking possession of the Royal Gardens: in the heart of the city, next to piazza Castello. It is Traffic's afternoon meeting point and a place where we can observe the traditional rite of the aperitif, but it is above all Word Jockeys' site.
Word Jockeys: Napoli@Torino
Born as Traffic's "literary" section, where writers - both Italian and foreign - highlighted the musical aspects of their own narrative identity, this year Word Jockeys transforms itself and has a thematic trait. One city: Naples. Its extraordinary human and cultural resources. Its degradation and unease. Artists that symbolise different ages and attitudes of the city narrate its contradictory aspects.
