The theme of the Festival
The theme of this second edition is "Us and them", a starting point for reflection on the community that has been grouped since ancient times, keeping the figure of the single self clearly distinct.

More than forty-nine appointments, fourteen collateral events with the most authoritative Italian and foreign historians, such as Simona Colazi, Eva Cantarella, Alessandro Barbero, Andrea Giardina, Elisabetta Lezzosi and others.
Massimo Montanari will explain the unusual link between different cultures in the history of spaghetti with tomato sauce. Gianni Mura and Beppe Smorto will tell us about sports tribes and how sometimes one's identity can be found in a team's shirt. And then again interventions on Toto 'and Maradona.
