The Museu Torre Balldovina hosts a talk on the influence of Santa Coloma de Gramenet on Josep Maria de Sagarra. Writer Agustina Rico, an expert on the Sagarra legacy in the town, will unravel the connections of the playwright, poet, and journalist with the city where he grew up. The event takes place at Museu Torre Balldovina, located in Plaça Pau Casals. Entry is free and starts at 7 PM.
Josep Maria de Sagarra i de Castellarnau (1894-1961) is a central figure in 20th-century Catalan literature. His work, spanning theater, novels, short stories, and journalistic chronicles, is known for its lively style, deep understanding of human nature, and faithful depiction of contemporary society. Although connected to Barcelona, his roots and experiences in Santa Coloma de Gramenet significantly shaped aspects of his biography and creative output.
