From 16 to 20 September 2026, Pordenonelegge– the Festival of Books and Freedom – returns to the city and the surrounding area for its 27th edition, reaffirming its place among the most eagerly awaited events on Italy’s cultural scene.
An edition that engages with the great questions of our time: the conflicts that continue to wound the world, the technological changes that are transforming the way we live and think, and the growing need to find new words and tools to make sense of a constantly changing present.
The city’s squares, streets and venues will become spaces for encounter and exchange, opening up to new perspectives and to a curiosity about the world. Because building a shared awareness means fostering a more engaged, curious and responsible citizenship. And because the future, even when it seems uncertain, always begins with a word, a page, an idea shared with others.
