About Cultural Renaissance

Cultural Renaissance is the traveling festival of meetings, conferences, and debates that every year involves Gussago and numerous municipalities between Brescia and Franciacorta. Promoted by the association of the same name, it brings nationally renowned speakers and guests to the area to discuss culture, history, science, philosophy, and current affairs. A free admission event that makes Gussago, in the Province of Brescia, one of its main hubs.

A widespread festival of culture

Cultural Renaissance is a traveling festival that brings quality dissemination to the squares, civic halls, and theaters of a wide area between Brescia and Franciacorta. Among the municipalities involved are Gussago, Concesio, Travagliato, Iseo, Palazzolo sull'Oglio, Capriolo, Erbusco, and the city of Brescia itself. The organizing association is based in Gussago, in the Province of Brescia.

Themes and guests

The festival offers conferences and meetings with nationally renowned speakers—scholars, essayists, writers, scientists, and communicators—on topics ranging from history to science, from philosophy to current affairs, from music to contemporary culture. The events, spread throughout the year and concentrated in the autumn review, are designed for a broad and curious audience.

Culture accessible to all

A strong point of Cultural Renaissance is the free admission to all meetings, often with reservation to respect the capacity of the halls. A choice that makes culture accessible and has led the event to grow into a benchmark for the Brescian and Franciacorta area.
