The Pavese Festival 2026 will take place in Santo Stefano Belbo from Monday 22 to Sunday 28 June, preceded by a series of pre-festival events across the region and the rest of Italy, which will continue into the following months.
This year’s theme – Return to Humanity – is an invitation to rediscover our humanity, starting with words and the way we use them.
Among the first guests announced for this edition are Matteo Caccia, Vera Gheno and Omar Pedrini. The detailed programme will be presented at a press conference on 28 May 2026 at the Circolo dei Lettori in Turin
