Edition 2025 — Santuario Festival

The first edition of the Santuario Cultural Festival took place in Pulsano from July 24 to 26, 2025, promoted by the Santa Maria La Nova Parish with the patronage of the Municipality. Three evenings dedicated to the theme of forgiveness, in dialogue with the Jubilee Year, with exceptional guests: Gherardo Colombo, Lidia Maggi, and Massimo Recalcati.

The inaugural edition of the Santuario Cultural Festival brought three prominent voices to Pulsano, in the province of Taranto, around the theme of forgiveness, chosen in harmony with the 2025 Jubilee Year. The meetings were held at 8:30 PM in the spaces of the Santa Maria La Nova Parish.

On July 24, former magistrate Gherardo Colombo opened the festival with "Responsible Forgiveness"; on July 25, it was the turn of Baptist pastor Lidia Maggi with "Forgiveness Reopens the Future"; on July 26, in the parish oratory on Via Santo Egidio, psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati closed the festival with "In Praise of Forgiveness". Conceived by the parish priest Father Davide Errico, the festival established itself from its debut as a cultural event awaited by the Pulsano community.
