Kindness Festival

A festival that puts relationships at the center

The Kindness Festival is the event that brings Cutigliano to life every autumn, a historic village in the municipality of Abetone Cutigliano, in the province of Pistoia, in the heart of the Pistoia Mountains in Tuscany. The event is centered around World Kindness Day, celebrated on November 13th, and uses it as a pretext for a weekend entirely dedicated to inclusion, participation, and nurturing human relationships.

The spirit of the event

Far from the logic of large-scale spectacular events, the festival chooses an intimate and participatory approach. Promoted by the Pro Loco Cutigliano, it brings together residents, local associations, and visitors around a simple yet powerful idea: kindness as a daily practice and as the glue of a community. For three days, the village becomes a space for listening, where small gestures, hospitality, and attention to others take center stage.

What to expect

The structure of the event favors meeting points and activities tailored to everyone, designed to involve both adults and children. The detailed program is announced by the organizers in the weeks leading up to the event through the channels of the Pro Loco and the Municipality.

• Meetings and moments of reflection on the theme of kindness and inclusion
• Activities and workshops aimed at families and young people
• Community initiatives spread throughout the village spaces

Cutigliano, an exceptional setting

Nestled on the slopes of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, Cutigliano preserves a historic center made of stone alleys, ancient palaces, and views over the wooded valleys. Its intimate and authentic atmosphere blends perfectly with the spirit of the festival, offering visitors the chance to combine participation in the event with the discovery of one of the most characteristic villages of the Pistoia Mountains, just a few kilometers from the well-known ski resorts of Abetone.
