FAMILY
An alternative way to spend the summer with a diversified offer of events touching the world of culture and creativity. A wide and varied range of proposals, aimed mainly at the 0-12 age group, ranging from shows to workshops of all kinds in the “Family Village” in the hall of the Palazzo dei Congressi and the adjacent Ciani Park garden, a play environment for children and their families with carefully chosen books for all ages.
WORDS
From literature to art, via theatre and music, this festival aims to make the public’s minds ‘breathe’ and inspire, in a meeting of words and worlds through readings, dialogues and performances. Thanks also to the synergy with the nature of the surrounding Ciani Park, Talks will know how to get in touch with the soul of each listener, giving him or her a reflection to take with them.
STREET
A program that brings together street art, music, and a rich agenda of events, including street shows, concerts, installations, and live performances, many designed specifically to connect to the city’s streets and venues.
