From 16 October to 13 November 2026, Vicenza commemorates Virgilio Scapin (1932-2006) twenty years after his death with a series of events promoted by the Comune di Vicenza and the Biblioteca civica Bertoliana. A bookseller, actor and writer, Scapin was a multifaceted figure in the city, linked to the contrada Do Rode from which the series takes its name. The programme includes 'Le bretelle del librario', a theatrical narrative that retraces his life, and 'La citta' di Virgilio', a guided excursion to the places associated with him, starting from contrada Do Rode. An exhibition is also set up at Palazzo Cordellina.
