Edition 2025 — Ponza d'Autore

The 16th edition of Ponza d'Autore was held on July 18 and 19, 2025, in Piazza della Chiesa dei Santi Silverio e Domitilla, in the heart of the island. Two evenings of talks dedicated to the profound economic, cultural, and social transformations of the country and its new forms of power, with a program built — as per the festival's tradition — on direct confrontation rather than book presentations. Conceived and curated by Valentina Fontana, produced by Vis Factor.

Ponza d'Autore 2025, the 16th edition

In 2025, Ponza d'Autore returned to the Pontine island on July 18 and 19, again in the square of the Santi Silverio e Domitilla church. The chosen theme focused on the economic, cultural, and social transformations that are changing Italy, along with its new forms of power.

Among the discussions on the program: a dialogue on Italian suburbs with Davide Desario, director of Adnkronos, and Laura Tecce; a panel on the future of work with Luigi Marattin and Marta Schifone; a meeting on civil rights with Alessandro Cecchi Paone and Francesca Pascale; and a speech by Undersecretary for Labour Claudio Durigon. Some interviews were conducted by Gianluigi Nuzzi.

In this edition as well, the festival, conceived and curated by Valentina Fontana and produced by Vis Factor, confirmed the formula of open-air evenings with free access in the natural living room of the port of Ponza.
