Festival of the Mind

The Festival of the Mind takes place every year at the end of the summer in the historic town of Sarzana, inside the imposing Firmafede Fortress and in various locations around the town.

This is the first European festival dedicated to creativity and the birth of ideas, aimed at a wide and all-inclusive audience, including children and young people to whom a specific section is dedicated.

During the three days, Italian and international speakers offer meetings, readings, performances, workshops and cultural insights, investigating the changes, energies and hopes of today’s society in a language accessible to all.
