Ocean conservation initiatives in Italy

Overview

In October 2026, Italy hosted multiple ocean conservation and awareness initiatives. The Ocean&Climate Village opened at the Luna Rossa base in Cagliari, featuring a scientific exhibition developed by the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and supported by the Prada Group through the SEA BEYOND project. Curated by Formafantasma, the multimedia exhibition explored the links between climate, biodiversity, and human activity and remained open to the public until October 15, 2026.

Concurrently, the tenth edition of the Ocean Film Festival World Tour Italia commenced on October 14, touring 22 locations across the country. The festival showcases international short and medium-length films focused on marine conservation, exploration, and water sports. The tour includes stops in Genoa at The Space Cinema Porto Antico on October 20, and in Udine at Cinema Visionario on October 22, featuring marine biologists such as Diego Curtarello.

In late October, the festival debuted in Calabria for the first time with an event at the Teatro Comunale in Catanzaro, organized by ITACA The Outdoor Community. This tour, which includes new additions like Catanzaro and Rovereto, began in Milan and is scheduled to conclude in Naples on November 12.
