The XIV edition of Sponz Fest, titled ‘Sponz Im-Bosck’, was held in Calitri, Alta Irpinia, from August 26 to 30, 2026. Directed by Vinicio Capossela, the festival utilized the forest as a “cultural, anthropological, and civil laboratory,” featuring music, workshops, and cultural meetings.

The event, which included performers such as John Convertino and Teatro delle Albe, was promoted and funded by the Campania Region. It aimed to valorize UNESCO heritage and cultural itineraries, with local officials describing internal areas as “laboratories of the future.”

The festival concluded with approximately 30,000 attendees. The program focused on the forest as an archetype of nature, magic, and the unconscious.
