A festival of ideas in Orvieto

The Festival del Dialogo is a cultural event that takes place in Orvieto (province of Terni) and has made civil debate and dialogue its core. Organized by the association ApertaMenteOrvieto, the festival brings together scholars, experts, and citizens to reflect together on the challenges of the present.

The Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo

The festival's main venue is the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, a symbolic building of the city, which hosts conferences, round tables, and discussion forums. Each edition revolves around a central theme that guides the meetings and guests.
