RinascitaFest

Bread and Peace

The title of the 2025 edition summarized the two threads of the program: bread as rights, inclusion, solidarity, and social battles; peace as a radical rejection of war, domination, and indifference. The event opened on September 10 with a "day zero" and closed on September 21, occupying once again the area of the former Circumvesuviana station in Pomigliano d'Arco, in the province of Naples.

Alongside the meetings, the festival offered evening concerts, screenings, book presentations, workshops, and popular cuisine at affordable prices, in an open and free space. Within the area, "Gaza Cola" was also available, with proceeds destined for the reconstruction of the Al Karama hospital in Gaza; the festival also reaffirmed its adherence to the BDS Italia campaign.
