Adolf Beltran has worked in ‘Noticias al Día’, ‘El Temps’, El País (where he was responsible for the cultural supplement Quadern and eldiario.es). He has published novels and articles in different literary journals and edited the correspondence between Joan Fuster, Vicent Ventura and Josep Garcia Richart.

Vicent Ventura was born in Castelló de la Plana on 1924 and died in Valencia on Christmas day on 1998. In 1962 he took part in the Fourth Congress of the European Movement, held in Munich. This event costed him exile, firstly, and confinement in Dénia when he returned. He was one of the founders of the PSV (Valencian Socialist Party) in the same year. Years later, he founded the advertising agency Publipress, with partners such as Andreu Alfaro, Francesc Jarque, Luis Torres and Josep La Roca.

After the PSV disappeared, he took part in the constitution of the PSPV (Socialist Party of the Valencian Country), which he later left, and of the coalition ‘Unitat del Poble Valencià’ (Union of the Valencian People).

Personalities from the world of culture, journalism, the Universitat and Valencian politics make up a commission, headed by Anna Aguilar, Vicent Ventura's niece, and by two nephews of his wife, Marina Peris, under the coordination of Francesc Pérez Moragón, to organise the centenary events.
