La Punta della Lingua – International Poetry Festival

The 20th edition of La Punta della Lingua, held from June 21 to July 2, 2025, celebrated the festival's twenty years with an extraordinary program: over 80 authors from Italy and abroad over twelve days of events spread across Ancona, Jesi, Fermo, Macerata, Offagna, Polverigi, and Grottammare, with stops also in Apecchio, Castelfidardo, and Casette d'Ete.

Special guest of the edition was the poet Antonella Anedda, featured in poetic itineraries between Ancona and Conero. Among the numerous guests were director and actor Abel Ferrara (July 1 in Jesi), actress Iaia Forte, poet Milo De Angelis, and Eugenio De Signoribus. The fifth edition of the Franco Scataglini International Video Poetry Prize and the poetry workshops in the prisons of Fossombrone and Pesaro confirmed the festival's civic and experimental vocation, still directed by Luigi Socci and Valerio Cuccaroni for the Associazione Nie Wiem.
