Centro Studi FERA - FERA Residential Festival of experience

Schedule

Join us!

FERA Festival emerges from a profound inspiration: to experience art as a bridge between generations to radically rethink our lifestyles. The goal is to shape more conscious and sustainable future ways of inhabiting the world, responding with creativity and vision to the great challenges of our time.

This is not just an event, but a collective transformation experience oriented toward new paradigms. FERA acts as an interdisciplinary accelerator, highlighting and valuing the most visionary artistic, cultural, and spiritual practices on the contemporary scene. We envision and co-create these possible futures at the fertile intersection of art, culture, and the embrace of nature, always placing the quality of life of people and communities at the center.

To fully embrace the spirit of FERA and become an active part of a vibrant community united by these themes, we offer the possibility—though not strictly necessary—to stay directly on-site or at carefully selected partner B&Bs. This choice fosters the sharing of daily life and authentic conviviality, such as the pleasure of preparing and sharing meals together in a common space designed for meeting, exchange, and active participation.

📢 NEWS 10/5/2025!

It's that time of year when we talk about the
Residential Festival!

This year will be RICHER, with more facilitators, more choices, more art, more encounters between people, more exchanges of ideas... a true Festival!
A festival of experiences.

🌈 Additionally, there will be ARCADIA, the new Cultural Center that will be a place for meeting with the community, sharing, and performance.

Always welcoming.
Always in beauty, with performances and activities to be done individually and in groups.
Always sharing the intention to grow together through the creative act, to develop a greater knowledge and awareness of oneself and of others.

You will find 👉 painting, writing, singing, theater, conferences and debates, and experienced artists and facilitators.

You will find spontaneous moments where you can dance, take a walk, or swing in a hammock at a snail's pace 🐌.
We are often guided by the phrase "be the change you want to see in the world," attributed to Mahatma Gandhi. We believe it is important to start from within ourselves, restoring our own value and intention, from the need to observe ourselves and experience our humanity in daily actions.
We are strength and beauty, creation and destruction.
Life is a journey; we choose how to travel, whether to travel, and with whom.

This year's theme?
Argonauts 2025: Who is the human being?

In this era of continuous, perpetual conflicts, where distinct voices often ask us not to forget our humanity, our active reflection turns to: what is human, and what is in-human?
