FLA – Festival of Books and Other Things

FLA 2025: the XXIII edition

The XXIII edition of the FLA – Festival of Books and Other Things was held in Pescara from November 6 to 9, 2025, confirming its status as one of the most popular cultural events in Central Italy. Four days of meetings, performances, and conversations brought theaters, museums, schools, cafés, and art galleries in the city to life. Guests included Roberto Saviano, Strega Prize winners Walter Siti, Francesco Piccolo, and Donatella Di Pietrantonio, along with Stefano Nazzi, Cecilia Sala, Michela Marzano, Francesco Rutelli, Fumettibrutti, and Lorenza Gentile. The big news of the year was the extension of the festival to the municipality of Spoltore. In the summer, the "FLA in Estatica" series (July 18-20, 2025) had already taken place at the Tourist Port Arena, featuring Guido Catalano and Diego De Silva with the Trio Malinconico.
