The Weeks of Culture

The Weeks of Culture of Montegranaro

The Weeks of Culture are now one of the most anticipated events in the calendar of Montegranaro, a town in the province of Fermo, in the Marche region, known worldwide for its footwear tradition. Originally a simple week dedicated to cultural events, the festival has gradually grown to encompass the entire month of May, a choice stemming from the municipal administration's desire to give space and visibility to all local proposals, encouraging broader participation.

A month dedicated to culture

The program features over fifteen events spanning different genres and languages. The heart of the festival is a multidisciplinary offering that intertwines art, performance, and civic engagement:

• Theatre performances and author events, often hosted at the Teatro La Perla, the hub of the town's cultural life;
• Concerts and musical moments open to all ages;
• Book presentations and meetings with authors;
• Conferences and in-depth discussions on current and cultural topics;
• Initiatives for schools, to engage young people;
• Events dedicated to local memory and history, alongside sports events and moments of conviviality.

A network between institutions, schools, and associations

The strength of the Weeks of Culture lies in its participatory nature. The result is the fruit of careful and constant coordination by the Department of Culture, which over the years has built a solid and dynamic network between institutions, schools, and associations, offering each entity spaces, visibility, and concrete opportunities for expression. As Mayor Endrio Ubaldi emphasized, the festival successfully involves an increasing number of associative realities, becoming an identity-defining event for the Monturanese community.

Montegranaro and the Marche

Visiting Montegranaro during the Weeks of Culture means discovering a hilly village in the Fermo area with a rich historical and artistic heritage, nestled in the gentle landscape of the Marche hills between the Adriatic Sea and the Sibillini Mountains. The festival is an opportunity to experience the town beyond its production dimension, rediscovering its cultural soul and the associative fabric that animates it.
