Piceno d'Autore

Piceno d'Autore 2025 — XVI Edition

The 2025 edition of Piceno d'Autore, the sixteenth, was held in Piazza San Giacomo in Monteprandone (AP) with two evening events. On July 8, Gianrico Carofiglio was the guest, presenting his "Elogio dell'ignoranza e dell'errore" (In Praise of Ignorance and Error); on July 27, it was the turn of Vito Mancuso, with "Destinazione speranza" (Destination Hope).

The common thread of the festival, dedicated to the dialogue between rationality and spirituality, justice and conscience, confirmed the event's vocation to intertwine literature and reflection on current affairs. The free admission events, organised by the association I Luoghi della Scrittura, attracted a large audience to the historic village of the Municipality of Monteprandone.
