The “Dialoghi di Pistoia” festival for newitalianbooks
“Dialoghi di Pistoia” is a festival dedicated to the anthropology of the contemporary world. It aims to offer a fresh perspective on human societies by bringing together experts from various fields in a dialogue that presents new interpretations of the world around us.
The 17th edition of the festival will take place from 22 to 24 May 2026. Driven, as always, by a commitment to cultural and civic engagement, the festival aims to reach the widest possible audience and features three days of meetings, conferences, performances and readings in the historic centre of Pistoia.
The festival, conceived and directed by Giulia Cogoli, is supported by the CARIPT Foundation and the Municipality of Pistoia.
To mark its 17th edition, the Dialoghi di Pistoia festival is offering readers of newitalianbooks this month a special feature devoted to some of the most interesting anthropology essays recently published in Italy.
