Vinicio Capossela talks about his travel experiences at the 2013 edition, hosted at the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology of Florence.

The Festival del Viaggio (in English: Travel festival) is an annual cultural festival held each June in Florence, Viareggio or Palermo.[1][2] The festival features a vast array of conferences, exhibitions, concerts, movies, and documentaries about traveling.[3] It also organizes workshops on writing and photography about travel, in collaborations with the University of Pisa and the province of Florence. It was the first of its kind in Italy.[4]

History[edit]

The festival was founded in 2006 by writer Alessandro Agostinelli,[5] who is the current director.[6][7][8]

The "Passeggiata Jodorowski" at the 2018 edition, in Florence

In 2009 Festival del Viaggio won the "Brand New Italian Festival Award" in Bologna.[9] In 2010 the festival presented a walk in the Florentine sky: the tightrope walker Andrea Loreni walked on the wire 50 meters high over Piazza della Signoria, entering into the Palazzo Vecchio.[10] In 2011 festival organized a photo contest about honeymoons all over the world, in collaborations with the weekly magazine L'Espresso and the daily newspaper La Repubblica.[11] In 2018 the Festival del Viaggio conceived and realized the plan of the 'Passeggiata Jodorowski',[12] a walk at dawn amongst the most important Florentine monuments going always straight and never turning (inspired by Alejandro Jodorowski's idea). In September 2019 Viareggio was chosen as an additional seat.[13][14]

The 2020 edition was postponed to September and arranged with more open-air and on-line events.[15][16]
