In Borgo Valsugana, where he lives, he was a municipal councilor, vice president of the library and president of the Bocciofili club of Borgo, president of the Polisportiva F. Moranduzzo for several years. My literary works have all been donated for solidarity purposes, trying to promote the humanitarian purposes of associations such as the NU.VO.LA of Sanzeno with the collection of poems The Horses of Phaedrus from 1996, Il Poema del Trentino donated to the Diabetes Association youth of Trentino in 1998, followed by the novel Ruben's madness for the ADMO in 2000, The lady of the butterflies for the Celiac Association in 2003, The promise donated to the A.M.A. of Trento in 2006, followed by the collection of stories entitled The challenge of 2011, partly in support of a humanitarian association in Borgo. On Sunday 22 October 2023 Giorgio Ragucci Brugger presented the novel "Theo Solveig - Bensalem 2052 -" at the Kunst Grenzen - Frontier Art gallery in Rovere della Luna (Trento). "Theo Solveig - Bensalem 2052 -" is a dystopian novel set in a near possible future where, following an epochal catastrophe in 2052, the only world population survives in a single city: Bensalem. The protagonist of the novel is the philosopher Theo Solveig, who laboriously recovers his lost memory following the damage he has suffered. Theo finds himself living in a kind of nightmare when he sees first-hand the suppression of every form of culture, including freedom of expression, subjected to a collective Intelligence through powerful giant screens imposed by the Guardian, on whose will the lives of the citizens of Bensalem depend. Introduced and curated by the Kunst Grenzen artist Renata Di Palma, the initially traditional presentation, with a short biography of the author's presentation, gradually unfolded in a lively and stimulating way both for the writer and for the public present in the room, who did not he had no embarrassment in asking thematic and philosophical questions and in dialogue with the author. The evening then culminated with the classic Kunst Grenzen toast with the artist. The editorial presentation of "THEO SOLVEIG - Bensalem 2052 -" was created by the author Giorgio Ragucci Brugger in collaboration with the cultural association Kunst Grenzen - Frontier Art aps (TN, IT - 38030 Rovere della Luna, Villotta Str. 7/A ), Municipality and Pro Loco of Rovere della Luna, Cassa Rurale Val di Non Rotaliana and Giovo - RdL branch.
