Wednesday, April 8th :: Tiro Rapido, a crime story challenge in 550 minutes
Wednesday 8th April starts the third Tiro Rapido edition, a competition for "wannabe" writers, created by Porsche Italia in partnership with Rizzoli CDS group and Primosic winery. The relationship between Primosic winery and Tiro Rapido is due to the link created by the word "giallo" which in Italian means at the same time the colour "yellow", as in Ribolla Gialla, and the crime story books.
Ribolla Gialla, Think Yellow, is the wine conceived for an ease moment, as could be reading a book.
The literary challenge consists of seven dates in different Italian cities. The final round will take place in November, in Milan. The winner story will be published on "L'Europeo", a weekly Italian magazine and further on the stories selected by the jury will be collected in a book.
Tiro Rapido jury will be composed by well known journalists and newspapers editors, such as Daniele Protti (editor of "L'Europeo") as President of the jury, Andrea Rossi (editor of Max magazine), Andrea Monti (editor of Oggi magazine), Giuseppe di Piazza (editor of Corriere della Sera magazine)and Fiorenza Vallini (editor of Io Donna magazine).
