Passaggio al Bosco's participation at Più Libri Più Liberi in Nuvola dell'Eur sparked protests by about 100 publishers who covered their stands with tarps, displayed signs condemning fascist ideas and chanted slogans such as “Fascists out of this fair” and “Now and forever resistance”.Authors Michele Rech, Daria Bignardi and Alessandro Barbero withdrew from the fair and signed letters urging AIE to disinvite Passaggio al Bosco, while AIE and Innocenzo Cipolletta defended the publisher's legal participation and rejected censorship.Tensions escalated as DOGE requested removal of the book "Io non voto Giorgia", regional funding of €15,000 supported a far-right festival called "Letture Maceratesi", links to CasaPound and past extremism including the 2018 Luca Traini attack fuelled outrage, and the Salesian community canceled an event at Teatro Grande Valdocco organized by Circolo Arci La Poderosa with scheduled speakers Angelo D’Orsi, Barbero, Luciano Canfora and Carlo Rovelli.
