In mid-October 2026, the Puglia region hosted several literary presentations. These included Stefania Doronzo’s book regarding autonomy and social inclusion, Alberto “Bebo” Guidetti’s discussion on the impact of artificial intelligence on the music industry, and Maria Giuseppina Pagnotta’s novel inspired by the history of an Italian military intern in a Nazi concentration camp.

By late October, the focus expanded to broader themes of art, memory, and social control through new publications and upcoming exhibitions. New literary works addressed the legacy of Franco Basaglia and the history of visual communication. In the exhibition sector, the Museo Nazionale dell’Arte Digitale in Milan scheduled a show featuring Marina Abramović’s digital avatar, while other displays of works by Lucio Fontana, Kandinskij, and Malevič were planned for Vicenza and Parma.
