Interview with Georgio Santangelo, owner of “La confraternita dell’uva,” an independent bookstore in Bologna

Last month Bologna was voted by CNBC the most underrated city in the world. Last year I visited the city and I have to agree. There I met Giorgio Santangelo, the founder and owner of La confraternita dell’uva (@la_confraternita_dell_uva), a lovely independent bookstore with a gorgeous selection of books, all handpicked by Georgio himself. Here is a link to our interview.

What difficult experience has helped you as a writer?

Participating in the Coast Guard’s migrant repatriation mission. This is difficult, complicated, and emotionally fraught work. I was determined to finish Mona Passage – and find it a home with a publisher – because readers needed to know about the human drama that unfolds on the Caribbean Sea every day.

I would have never been able to do this on my own, nor did I find any other publicist who had the breadth of connections Sabrina has, especially those that specifically targeted my book’s intended audience. These connections were invaluable to its exposure and sales.
