Giano Vetusto International Biennial of Poetry and Fiction

13th edition — "Sogni di Pace"

The 13th edition of the Giano Vetusto International Biennial of Poetry and Fiction focused on the theme "Sogni di Pace". After the collection and evaluation of the entries, the journey concluded with the awards ceremonies on May 31 and June 1, 2025, hosted in the town of Giano Vetusto, in the province of Caserta.

The edition recorded a high level of participation, with over 135 poets and writers arriving from various Italian regions. The competition sections included the "Sogni di Pace" themed poetry, the free-theme poetry section named after Francesco Carlo Zona, and short fiction, with cash prizes, plaques, and mentions awarded by the juries of the Panta Rei Association. The ceremony, enriched by readings and musical moments, brought cultural attention back to the small Campanian village for two days.
