She has written 27 stage plays and 15 books and her work has been translated into 34 languages and has won various awards. Since 2024, she has also been a Member of the European Parliament. We could not be more delighted that SIBYLLE BERG is presenting her newest book in Cologne. PNR: LA BELLA VITA tells of a brave new post-capitalism world, where everything that people had learned to believe in has disappeared, where everyone notices with astonishment that it is possible to live without fear and without selling your soul to an employer. From how we live to how we farm, from how we take holidays to the question of what to do with bureaucracy, Europe is reinventing itself. On the page and the big screen, Berg explains why Italy is the best place to start.
