I want to feel well

The Aula Magna of Palazzo del Palazzo del Bo of the University of Padua, together with other venues across the city, hosts the events of the Festival Di Salute which from 14 to 16 October 2026 returns to the city with women and men of science, artists, Nobel Prize winners and intellectuals to explore and discuss the most significant developments in contemporary medicine.

The initiative, which this year is entitled “Voglio stare bene”, is promoted by Gruppo GEDI and is conceived as a meeting point for exploring the broad story of health at every age through three days of talks, debates, readings and performances. 

With scientists, Nobel Prize winners, people from the worlds of medicine, institutions, writing, art and sport, Unipd lecturers, science communicators, we reaffirm the fundamental right to be well and to remain healthy throughout the whole course of life. From childhood to youth, from adulthood to old age and very old age. We talk about the revolution of artificial intelligence, but also about health as human knowledge shaped by experience, fragility, awareness and irony.

Participation is free of charge and open to all citizens, subject to booking.
