Ascoli Piceno to host Agape international conference and awards

The fourth international conference organized by the Agape Accademia Caffè Letterari d’Italia e d’Europa is scheduled for October 2, 2026, at the Pinacoteca Civica in Ascoli Piceno. Presided over by writer and psychotherapist Antonio Lera, the event is titled in honor of Professor Mario Pazzaglia, author of the ‘Antologia della letteratura italiana’.

The conference aims to foster dialogue between literature, the arts, psychoanalysis, and society, seeking to bridge the gap between scientific and humanistic disciplines to better understand identity and social dynamics. The event will feature participation from university professors, journalists, writers, and artists.

Following the conference, the Agape International Prize 2026 will be awarded across several categories, including ethical communication, inclusive social culture, arts, music, literature, science, sport, and academia. The ceremony will recognize various contributors from the journalistic, artistic, and scientific communities.
