For reasons related to my research and third mission activities, which have long been dedicated to Irish studies (particularly in its cultural, literary, and musical manifestations), I am well acquainted with and have great appreciation for Max Roveri and his tireless dedication to Things Irish. The San Patrizio Livorno Festival is one of his most vital and visionary creations, which I have had the opportunity to closely experience by participating as a speaker at the effervescent and passionate 2023 edition. It deserves support: I am certain that it will continue to grow in the coming years, bringing prestige to the presence of the Emerald Isle in Italy.

About maxorover

Max O’Rover is the pen name of Massimiliano ‘Max’ Roveri. He started writing about Ireland in 2008, after nearly a decade of fascination with the country. He now lives in Dublin, not far from Cooldrinagh — Samuel Beckett’s birthplace — and within reach of Barrytown, real or imagined. Max has worked with Irish author Catherine Dunne since 2016 and co-directs the San Patrizio Livorno Festival. After a long Italian-language phase, he now writes primarily in English, in fiction, theatre, and essays. He is the author of The Butterfly Saviour, praised by John Banville; Three Lives, currently in progress; and She-Wolf Blood, which he hopes will make him rich. For the stage, he has written multilingual plays including Not-Beckett, which will premiere at SPLF25 and has earned praise from both Patrick Bixby and Federico Platania. When not writing, planting seeds, or cooking, Max plays Skyrim or Fallout 4 with his wife Maria Grazia, who is also his life support system.
