About Literary Review of Vigevano

The Literary Review of the City of Vigevano is the city's literary festival, now in its twenty-fifth edition under the artistic direction of Ermanno Paccagnini. Five days of meetings with authors, conferences, and reflections around a theme that changes each year: for 2026, the common thread is "Visions," exploring the ability to imagine the future, utopias, and artificial intelligence.

Vigevano's Literary Festival

The Literary Review of the City of Vigevano is the autumn event that dedicates the heart of the city to books and ideas. Promoted by the Municipality of Vigevano and directed by Ermanno Paccagnini, the event brings together meetings with authors, conferences, and debates spread over five days, built around an annual theme that acts as a compass for the entire program.

2026 Theme: "Visions"

The 2026 edition, the twenty-fifth, revolves around the word "Visions": the ability to imagine, read, and interpret the present and the future. The theme explores what was once considered utopian and then became reality, as well as emerging phenomena with almost prophetic force, from artificial intelligence to new perceptions of innovation in daily life.

A Quarter Century of Culture

With twenty-five editions behind it, the Review is now one of the cultural institutions of the Municipality of Vigevano (Province of Pavia). The 2026 edition was announced by the municipal administration, which confirms the festival's vocation to question the present through literature and public discussion with writers and scholars.
