About Festival of Law

Born in Isernia, the Festival of Law is the Molise event that brings the culture of legality to citizens, professionals, and students. With the 2026 edition, the festival becomes itinerant throughout Molise for the first time: it starts from Isernia on April 16th and will then touch Campobasso, Termoli, and Agnone, with a theme that invites breaking the silence: 'Silence is complicity, reporting is a right'.

Law as a widespread culture

The Festival of Law is the event that, starting from Isernia, the capital of Molise, makes legal culture and legality a shared heritage. Conceived and directed by lawyer Luigi Fantini, the festival combines meetings, testimonies, and debates aimed at citizens, legal professionals, and especially young people, involved through schools and universities in Molise.

An itinerant edition throughout Molise

The eighth edition, in 2026, marks a turning point: for the first time, the festival becomes itinerant and travels across the entire region, starting from Isernia on April 16th to continue in Campobasso (April 21st), Termoli (April 28th), and Agnone (May 5th), with an extraordinary event scheduled in Vatican City.

The theme: breaking the silence

The common thread for 2026 is 'Silence is complicity, reporting is a right', an invitation to recognize reporting as an act of civil responsibility. The event is accredited by the main professional bodies (Bar Association of Isernia, Campobasso, and Larino, Order of Psychologists, Notarial Council of Molise, Order of Journalists of Molise) and supported by local entities such as the Pontifical Marinelli Foundry, which awards a special bronze prize, a symbol of Molise's artisanal excellence.

Festival of Law — edition 2026

The VIII edition of the Festival of Law, the first itinerant one, started from Isernia on April 16, 2026, with the theme 'Silence is complicity, reporting is a right', and then touched Campobasso (April 21st), Termoli (April 28th), and Agnone (May 5th). Among the guests was Professor Vittorino Andreoli.

The 8th edition of the Festival of Law opened in Isernia on April 16, 2026, its first itinerant journey through Molise, on the theme 'Silence is complicity, reporting is a right'. After the official presentation on April 7th in the Sala Raucci of the Municipality of Isernia, the event continued in Campobasso (April 21st), Termoli (April 28th), and Agnone (May 5th), with an extraordinary event in Vatican City.

The edition involved professional bodies, schools (including ISIS Fermi-Mattei of Isernia), and the University of Molise, with the presence of distinguished guests such as Professor Vittorino Andreoli. The Pontifical Marinelli Foundry awarded the traditional special bronze prize.
