About Festival della Comunicazione

Every September, Camogli transforms into the Italian capital of thought and word with the Festival della Comunicazione. Four days of master lectures, meetings, dialogues, and shows bring intellectuals, writers, scientists, journalists, and artists to the village in the Golfo Paradiso, united around a theme that changes every year. Conceived and directed by Rosangela Bonsignorio and Danco Singer, the festival has become one of the most followed cultural events in Italy, capable of combining the depth of ideas with the charm of a unique seaside setting.

Ideas on stage in Camogli

The Festival della Comunicazione is one of the most important Italian cultural events dedicated to thought, word, and communication in all its forms. It is held in Camogli, a seaside village in the Golfo Paradiso in the province of Genoa, and every year it transforms the city's squares, theaters, and spaces into venues for discussion and reflection.

A different theme each year

The festival revolves around a theme that changes from edition to edition, addressed by leading speakers: philosophers, writers, scientists, journalists, economists, artists, and protagonists of Italian and international cultural life. Master lectures, dialogues, shows, and meetings follow one another in a dense and free program, designed for a broad and curious audience.

Direction and protagonists

Conceived and directed by Rosangela Bonsignorio and Danco Singer, the festival has hosted some of the most authoritative names in the cultural scene over the years. Each edition also awards the Premio Comunicazione (Communication Award), a recognition for a personality who has distinguished themselves in the field of culture and communication.

Camogli, an ideal setting for culture

The choice of Camogli is no coincidence: the beauty of the village, with its colorful houses overlooking the small harbor, offers a suggestive backdrop that enhances the value of the meetings. The Festival della Comunicazione thus combines the intellectual dimension with the experiential one, making Liguria a reference point for late-summer cultural debate.
