The Pordenonelegge literary festival continued its role as a platform for cultural dialogue and public debate. The 26th edition, held in July 2026, centered on European peace, featuring debates, a concert celebrating Europe, and a speech by President Sergio Mattarella that underscored intercultural conversation.

A month later, the 27th edition shifted focus to a high‑profile closing concert. The Italian trio Il Volo headlined the “Concert for Italy” on 20 September, with President Mattarella in attendance. Organisers highlighted the event as a preview of Pordenone’s designation as Italy’s Capital of Culture in 2027, reinforcing the festival’s growing cultural prominence.
