Various cultural and literary festivals are being held across different regions of Italy.

In late August, events included the ‘Compleanno del Golfo dei Poeti’ in San Terenzo, which featured writing contests and historical reenactments, and the ‘Cabudanne de sos poetas’ international poetry festival in Seneghe. The latter event focused on the theme ‘Sguardi Meridiani’ and included film screenings, music, and theater.

In early September, programming shifted to the Puglia region. Scheduled events included the ‘Piazza ai Burattini’ puppet theater festival in Terlizzi and an outdoor screening of Charlie Chaplin’s ‘The Kid’ in Bitonto, which served as a launch for the ‘Storie’ school program.
