Summer festival of meetings, exhibitions, music and shows. An international event, a crossroad of testimonies and experiences of different cultural origins: a lively and unique event on the world scene, it deals with crucial issues, in free and open dialogue among the most interesting personalities of culture, politics and faith.
The title of the 40th edition is 'Nacque il tuo nome da ciò che fissavi' (your name was born from what you gazed upon).
These verses which form the title, are taken from a poem by Karol Wojtyla. They focus on fact - experienced by everyone, at least in the most important and decisive moments of life - that our "name", that is to say, our human consistency is caused by what we stare at, by the relationship between us and another  who is different from ourselves. The image to which the poem refers is that of Veronica which fixes Christ as he passes by carrying the cross.
Being aware of "being", being aware that one is "called" to exist is the most disturbing experience for all kind of culture - from science to economics, from politics to art. Only the meeting with "living" people can re-open the self of each of us to all the dimensions of the world.
Inside the Meeting, there is also an entire area dedicated to children: every day exhibitions, songs, dances, games, shows and workshops with the Capo Banda and the friends of the Villaggio Ragazzi.
