Festival of the Pleasure Topic

Three evenings, six appointments, one rule: freedom of speech. This is the spirit of the Festival of the Pleasure Topic, staged on the Roccella Ionica seafront from 13 to 15 June 2025. An original and engaging format, devised and directed by journalist Tommaso Labate, which invites great protagonists of Italian culture to tell their stories... off script.

No thematic frames or institutional roles, just the desire to share what they are really passionate about. From journalism to music, from sport to literature, each guest will be free to choose his or her own theme ‘at will’, offering the audience an unprecedented look at themselves and the world.

Among this edition's guests:

• Marianna Aprile and Teresa Ciabatti, between pages and visions of the present
• Federico Buffa, with stories of sport, travel and humanity
• Walter Veltroni, for a journey between memory and current events
• Diego Bianchi (Zoro) and Neri Marcoré, with surprising musical incursions
