From 5 to 7 June 2026, Prato once again hosts Seminare Idee Festival City of Prato, the cultural festival conceived and directed by Annalisa Fattori and Paola Nobile, promoted by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Prato association with the support of the Tuscany Region.
The second edition centres on the theme of Desire, a profoundly human force that shapes choices, relationships and visions of the future. A timely and powerful concept, explored in its many forms, contradictions and possibilities – between creative impulse and the risk of obsession, between care, knowledge and conflict.
For three days, Prato's historic centre becomes a widespread forum for dialogue and reflection with writers, philosophers, scientists, psychologists, artists, journalists and athletes, through conferences, debates, readings, performances and public encounters – all free of charge. Special attention is devoted to younger audiences through Seminare Idee Kids, the programme designed for children and teenagers.
Seminare Idee Festival is a shared cultural experience that invites collective reflection on the present and encourages the cultivation of desire as a driver of both individual and collective transformation, strengthening community spirit and active participation.
