(ANSA) - Turin, February 1 - Legendary song-writer, musician
and poet Patti Smith will perform on May 6 in Turin ahead of the

The concert 'Grateful' will take place at the Auditorium Rai
in the north-western city.
'Punk poet laureate' Smith will perform with band-mate Tony
Shanahan and her children.
Turin Book Fair Director Nicola Lagioia said having Patti
Smith perform before the book event "is like suddenly finding
the palms of your hands full of flowers after a long night spent
praying".

year.
