There were big queues at ticket
offices and entry gates as the 30th Turin book fair kicked off
on Thursday.
It is the first time Italy's top book fair has taken place
since the launch of a rival event in Milan - Tempo di Libri
(Books Time).
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by Senate Speaker
Pietro Grasso, Culture Minister Dario Franceschini, Education
Minister Valeria Fedeli and Turin Mayor Chiara Appendino, among
other dignitaries.
