Borgo Arquà Petrarca, a year of culture, music and taste

From May 2025 to March 2026 Arquà Petrarca (Padua), the locality of the Euganean Hills where the great poet of the same name died in 1374, it will be the centre of a substantial cultural planning with Vivi Arquà Petrarca-A village to be discovered between culture and taste, an annual program that enhances the link between territory, heritage and identity through a rich calendar of events. The initiative - it is explained - was born out of the will of the municipal administration to enhance one of the most beautiful villages suggestive of Italy through a series of events that they tell poetry, music, food and wine and memory of the poet who lived here and found inspiration. Specifically, the The project is divided into four new cultural formats that together "they make up a rich, accessible and all-inclusive offer live". It starts on May 16-17-18 with the Talk Good Festival, three evenings dedicated to the word between reflection, storytelling and satire with Patrizio Roversi, Arianna Porcelli Safonov and Beppe Severgnini. Next, on June 21st, comes the magic of the Night Romantica of the most beautiful villages in Italy, a multisensory event between light installations and music and dance performances itinerant. On July 19th it will be the turn of the Homage to Francis Petrarca, a day to spend between poetry, workshops and shows. For the occasion, an extraordinary opening is planned of the Petrarca House, now a museum, where the great poet passed the last years of his life. Another novelty is the event that closes the review, scheduled for February 14, 2026, when the The village will come alive with Valentine's Day in Music, a tribute to love through concerts and widespread artistic experiences. During the year, the programming will also include eight highly anticipated events of local tradition, such as the Festa della Holy Trinity (June 13-14-15), Euganean Chalices, the Nights of Wine (8-9-10 August), the Concert "Bartolomeo Cristofori - Project Petrarca" (September 21), the Jujube Festival (5 and 12 October), the New Oil Festival (November 16), the Lighting of the Christmas lights (December 8), the Epiphany Concert in January 2026 and the Almond Festival, scheduled for March 1st 2026, for a total of twelve initiatives that intertwine between culture, nature and taste.
