SaniDays
The widespread festival of health, prevention, and wellness in Rome
About SaniDays
What is SaniDays
SaniDays is the largest widespread event in Italy entirely dedicated to health, wellness, and prevention. The festival takes place in Rome, in the heart of the Ostiense district, within the Industrie Fluviali spaces on Via del Porto Fluviale, with activities extending to other locations across the city and the Lazio region. Born from an initiative by SCAI Comunicazione Società Benefit, the project aims to transform health from a simple service into a shared cultural value, bringing citizens closer to a culture of prevention in an accessible, free, and participatory way.
The theme of the 2026 edition
The second edition is titled "Health that Unites", developed around the concept of "Vital Networks": the connections between territories, professionals, institutions, and innovators that make a more sustainable and accessible healthcare system possible. Health is presented as a common good born from the bond between those who provide care, those who research, and those who communicate science.
What you can do
In one place, and completely free of charge, visitors can:
- book medical visits and access prevention screenings;
- meet doctors, specialists, and university professors;
- attend informative talks and round tables with experts;
- meet creators and communicators involved in science communication in person;
- participate in practical workshops, personalized consultations, and wellness sessions.
The thematic days
The program is organized into thematic areas accompanying the four main days: prevention and One Health, longevity and quality of life, mental health and psychological well-being, and daily wellness. Significant space is also dedicated to healthcare innovation, digital health, telemedicine, and artificial intelligence applied to medicine, as well as topics of inclusion, gender health, and new generations. There is also a moment dedicated to innovation with the Pitch Day, the competition reserved for startups in the health sector.
An event for the city
With the patronage of Roma Capitale and the involvement of numerous organizations, associations, and entities from the Lazio healthcare world, SaniDays has established itself as a reference point for medical outreach and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. After the success of the first edition, which recorded over twenty thousand participants, the event confirms its vocation: putting prevention at the center, involving citizens, families, and young people in a collective journey of awareness and care.
