Meeting di Rimini 2026

Overview

The 47th edition of the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples, themed ‘L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle’, is scheduled for August 21 to 26, 2026, in Rimini. The event has expanded its scale to cover 140,000 square meters of the Rimini Fairgrounds, representing a 16% increase in exhibition space compared to the previous year.

A primary highlight is the visit of Pope Leo XIV on Saturday, August 22. To accommodate the Pontiff and large crowds, a new 10,000-seat Grand Auditorium has been constructed. The program consists of over 150 meetings featuring approximately 500 international and Italian speakers, with discussions expected to cover peace, the Holy Land, education, and artificial intelligence.

Institutional involvement includes the Italian Ministry of Education and Merit, which will host an information point for educators and families. The event is supported by 3,300 volunteers and is noted as a major large-scale Italian event offering free entry and parking. Additional focus will be placed on the Middle East through discussions involving the Custody of the Holy Land and various religious and political figures.
