Edition 2025 — World Shakespeare Congress
The World Shakespeare Congress is not held annually but every five years, and it was not held in Verona in 2025: the Scaliger city is hosting this prestigious event for the first time in 2026. Previous editions of the congress, promoted by the International Shakespeare Association, have been held in various cities worldwide, confirming its status as the main international forum for Shakespearean studies. The selection of Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet and a UNESCO World Heritage site, represents a significant recognition for Italy and the University of Verona.
