Naples, June 11 – The ‘Berlingueriana’ event is set to return to Naples for its fifth edition, transforming the Sala delle Carrozze of Palazzo Venezia (via Benedetto Croce 19) into a vibrant hub of ideas, reflections, and political and cultural proposals. Running from June 11 to June 13, 2026, this year’s event will revolve around two major, interconnected themes: “Feminine, Feminist: The Thought That Makes a Difference” and “Mediterranean: Peace and Freedom of Peoples. The Common Root of the Future.”
A Laboratory for Critical and Progressive Thought
Organized by the magazine Infinitimondi in collaboration with L’Ultima Generazione di Enrico Berlinguer and the Associazione Qualcosa di Sinistra, the event will host a diverse group of intellectuals, historical figures from the Italian left, essayists, young activists, and institutional representatives. Their collective aim is to critically and progressively rethink the contemporary world.
Key Highlights and Discussions
Among the scheduled events is the presentation of the book “Ambizione e disincanto. Storia della Repubblica” by Gavino Angius. The author will engage in a discussion with Gianfranco Nappi, Cecilia D’Elia, Antonio Bassolino, and Andrea Bianchi.
Another significant moment will be the presentation of “Il mio Eugenio, il nostro Eugenio,” a profound collective reflection dedicated to the figure of Eugenio Donise. This segment will feature Nino Ferraiuolo, Maurizio Erto, Anna, and Alessandro Donise, coordinated by Massimiliano Amato.
The event underscores Naples’ role as a significant cultural and intellectual center, fostering dialogues on crucial societal issues. The choice of themes reflects a contemporary urgency to address gender equality and geopolitical stability, particularly within the Mediterranean region.
The Berlingueriana has consistently drawn a broad audience, eager to participate in discussions that challenge conventional thinking and propose innovative solutions to global challenges. Its fifth iteration promises to continue this tradition, offering a platform for critical engagement and the exchange of diverse perspectives.
The organizers emphasize the importance of these discussions in shaping future policies and cultural narratives, aiming to inspire a new generation of activists and thinkers. The historical setting of Palazzo Venezia provides an apt backdrop for such profound reflections, connecting the past with contemporary aspirations for a more equitable and peaceful future.
