Two luminaries of the Swiss literary scene talk about literature and music. Zora del Buono, winner of the Swiss Book Prize 2024, meets Alain Claude Sulzer, winner of the Solothurn Literature Prize. In his three-part musical and literary program "Terra d'artisti - Sehnsucht Ticino", Sulzer explores the central importance of the North-South connection in Europe. He will read from Carl Spitteler's 1897 essay "Der Gotthard" and from Zora del Buono's novella of the same name, which was published in 2017, one year after the opening of the base tunnel.
