Presentation of the book "L’Albero dei Rosari" by Maurizio Valtieri

The Pantheon Institute is proud to announce that Maurizio Valtieri, one of our Italian Professors, presented his second novel, L’Albero dei Rosari (The Chinaberry tree) at the “Più Libri Più Liberi” national booksellers fair on December 7th.

Maurizio’s book tells the story of the clash between two separate worlds: the world of David, a 17 year old gay guy who lives his homosexuality in a positive and natural way and the claustrophobic and misogynic world of a religious institute where the so-called “Reparative Therapy for Homosexuals” is practiced…

Maurizio presented his book together with a speaker and with a psychologist who was there to explore in detail the condemnation of some therapies for homosexuals.

Some passages taken from the books were read during the event and the author also answered several questions by the audience.
