La Ibiza Town LibraryLocated in Can Ventosa, it becomes a stage for historical reflection with the presentation of «The sedition True story of the Mallorcan revolutionary Joan Baptista Picornell«, the new work of Joan Mayol Serra posted by Moll Nova Editorial.
The book brings back the figure of Joan Baptista Picornell, an 18th-century Mallorcan revolutionary linked to the enlightened and republican movements that marked a turbulent period in Spanish history.

The appointment is Friday 27 of February of 2026 at 20:00h.
The entrance is free and open until full capacity.
An opportunity to approach historical memory with rigor and debate, and to discover one of the lesser-known, but decisive, protagonists of the revolutionary tradition in the Balearic Islands.
