Extra Salute - Il Festival del Vivere Bene

The 2nd edition of Extra Salute, the festival of well-being from every point of view, enlivened Ancona from October 1 to 5, 2025, with the theme 'Healthy lifestyles, nutrition, cultural welfare, health, territory'. Five days spread across the Mole Vanvitelliana, the central squares, and the Teatro delle Muse, with events aimed at all age groups: from the first thousand days of life to adolescence, up to active longevity.

Among the most popular moments were the 'Women's Health' day dedicated to gender medicine, menopause, and eating disorders, and the 'Healthy and Wild' section designed for teenagers in Piazza Roma. Numerous free workshops and screenings were offered, from contraception to breast self-examination, from speech therapy to cardiac screening, as well as a vaccination open day. The event, promoted by the Municipality of Ancona with AST Ancona, the Ospedali Riuniti di Torrette, INRCA, and the Università Politecnica delle Marche, confirmed the One Health approach and the complete freeness of the events.
