Three days of books, meetings, and words in the alleys of Acquasparta
The name already encapsulates the meaning of the event: 'marginal notes' are the annotations that the reader writes next to the text, a trace of personal thought born from reading. The Festival delle Parole (Festival of Words) in Acquasparta, in the province of Terni, is an invitation to do just that: read, annotate, discuss, develop a thought starting from books.
For three days, the Umbrian village of Acquasparta transforms into a small crossroads of words. The program intertwines meetings with authors, book presentations, readings, and paths that combine the literary dimension with the local food and wine culture, in a dialogue between culture and local tradition.
Note a Margine belongs to that category of distributed literary festivals that, far from large centers, manage to build a curated and accessible cultural offering. Set among the streets and squares of the historic center of Acquasparta, the event enhances the village as a place for meeting and exchange, in the heart of southern Umbria.
The 2026 edition of Note a Margine takes place in Acquasparta from September 25 to 27. The event confirms its vocation as a distributed literary festival, with a program unfolding over the three days with meetings with writers, presentations, and reading sessions.
Alongside the literary events, the festival offers paths that combine books and local gastronomy, enhancing the link between culture and local tradition. The detailed program, including guest names and schedules for individual meetings, will be released by the organizers in the weeks preceding the event.
The festival is structured over three days, from Friday, September 25 to Sunday, September 27, 2026, featuring author meetings, book presentations, and literary and gastronomic paths in the historic center of Acquasparta.
The detailed program with guests, titles presented, and individual appointment times has not yet been published and will be announced by the organizers in the weeks prior to the event.
Acquasparta is reachable from the SS3 Flaminia and the E45, as well as by train on the Terni-Perugia line (Ferrovia Centrale Umbra).

The program and locations of individual meetings will be published on the channels of the Municipality of Acquasparta closer to the event.
