Do you love animals? Then you can't miss this event!
Alberto Brandi and Elena Giogli will present the best-selling book Gli animali ci salvano (Animals Save Us, Salani) together with Letizia Cini and Gianfranco Monti.

About the book:
There's Minni the kitten, found on the street and a companion through countless childhood adventures. There's Arturo the dog, a skin-and-bones puppy whose owner wanted to have him put down. There's David the calf, born in a mountain barn during one of the author's early escapades as a rookie "country vet." And alongside them are horses, badgers, fawns, alpacas.

That veterinarian is Alberto Brandi, and his life is simple, yet extraordinary in its own way. He lives in Castiglion Fiorentino, where he's known not just for his veterinary clinic, but also for his role in helping hundreds of abandoned animals find a new home every year.

The idea for this book came while he was hospitalized in the COVID-19 unit at the hospital in Arezzo, spending fifteen days in sub-intensive care with bilateral pneumonia. Clinging to the memories of these special animal friends, he realized something profound: throughout his life, he had saved many animals, but in reality, it was they who had saved him—every single day.

Because animals are here for a reason, he seems to tell us: to save us, and to make us better human beings.
