A week of politics and community

The Unity Festival of Guglionesi, in Basso Molise (province of Campobasso), returns from July 25 to August 1, 2026 with a program that blends political debate, conviviality, and gastronomy. The guiding theme of this edition is "Perspectives, Problems, Solutions", explored through a series of evening meetings open to citizens and visitors.

National debate guests

The festival brings prominent figures from Italian politics and trade unions to Guglionesi: the honorable Gianni Cuperlo, Marta Bonafoni, an expert in rights and participation, and Senator Susanna Camusso, former general secretary of the CGIL. The events take place between Piazzetta Santa Chiara and the Villa Comunale Castellara, considered one of the natural balconies overlooking the Molise region.

Typical cuisine and live music

Every evening, alongside the meetings, there will be food stalls with traditional local dishes, live music, and social gatherings that make the Guglionesi Unity Festival a highly attended summer event. The organization is managed by the Democratic Party Circle of Guglionesi and the PD Federation of Basso Molise.
