The Unicorn Festival:
Where Magic becomes Reality

The Unicorn Festival for newitalianbooks

Now in its nineteenth edition, the Unicorn Festival is Italy’s largest fantasy event, a unique celebration that transforms the enchanting medieval village of Vinci into a portal to fantastical worlds. From 11th to 13th July 2025, visitors will be immersed in an unprecedented experience, exploring eight themed areas ranging from classic fantasy to science fiction, from the Middle Ages to cyberpunk, and even live role-playing games.

Over 120 daily shows, concerts with artists from the cartoon and metal scene (in epic and symphonic styles), and the iconic parade of the Army of the Unicorn with hundreds of cosplayers make the festival an unmissable event for lovers of the genre. Inside the Teatro della Misericordia, the event also offers a valuable space for the presentation of works by emerging and established authors of books and comics, actively contributing to the promotion of Italian fantasy literature and comics. A true universe of wonder awaits you, ready to make you live a daydream.

The Unicorn Festival this month offers newitalianbooks readers a focus on some of the most interesting fantasy titles recently published in Italy.
