Biosalus Festival

A national festival dedicated to wellness

The Biosalus Festival is the National Festival of Organic and Holistic Wellness that animates the historic center of Urbino every autumn, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region. Founded in 2007 and organized by the Istituto di Medicina Naturale (Institute of Natural Medicine), it has become over the years one of the main Italian events dedicated to natural health, organic food, and sustainable lifestyles. The setting is that of the ducal city, a Renaissance jewel and UNESCO World Heritage site, which serves as the backdrop for a weekend of meetings, experiences, and discoveries.

The souls of the event

The festival is divided into several thematic areas spread across the symbolic places of the city. The Collegio Raffaello, in Piazza della Repubblica, is the heart of the event and hosts the expo of natural products with leading companies in the wellness and organic sector. The squares and spaces of the center, on the other hand, host the rest of the program:

• Expo and treatments: stands of natural wellness companies and treatments for individuals;
• Meetings: conferences and workshops with experts in health, wellness, and primary prevention;
• Naturopathy: conferences and theoretical-practical workshops by teachers and naturopaths from the Italian School of Naturopathy;
• Herbal Festival: activities and workshops dedicated to the world of medicinal herbs;
• Yoga: classes open to all with expert teachers;
• Shows and entertainment: concerts, dances, demonstrations, and entertainment for adults and children.

The link with the Marche territory

One of the distinctive features of Biosalus is its dialogue with the excellences of the territory. In Piazza delle Erbe, a zero-km market comes to life, promoting the food and wine products of the Marche region, while the organic offerings showcase a supply chain that prioritizes quality, sustainability, and respect for the environment. There are also spaces for families, with educational activities designed for children, and proposals related to outdoor movement and sports.

Why it's worth participating

Visiting the Biosalus Festival means combining the discovery of one of Italy's most beautiful cities with an immersion in the themes of wellness and healthy living. Between a conference and a treatment, a yoga class and a tasting of organic products, the festival offers an opportunity to slow down, get informed, and take care of yourself, all while strolling through the Renaissance palaces of Urbino. An event that speaks to those seeking slow, conscious tourism linked to the values of health and sustainability.
