Various cultural festivals and exhibitions continue to be held across different regions of Italy.

In late August, the Ludyka Festival took place at Villa Zardi in Copparo on August 28 and 29. The event focused on role-playing games, board games, and creative activities, featuring an exhibition celebrating the 35-year career of concept artist Daniele Procacci and participation from community member Gdrrante.

In Florence, the Copula Mundi festival is scheduled to run from September 1 to September 6 at the Lumen space. The program features international musical acts including Quantic, Mellow Mood, and Dub FX, alongside vintage markets, circus performances, and contemporary dance. The festival will also host ‘RigenerAzione,’ a political-cultural symposium regarding community-based regeneration and governance in Tuscany.

Looking toward mid-September, Panicale is set to host the XIV edition of the international lace and embroidery festival, ‘Fili in Trama,’ from September 11 to 13. Organized by GAL Trasimeno-Orvietano, the event includes exhibitions, workshops, and demonstrations to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis.
