On August 30th and 31st, the Congress Center in Perugia will host two days of festival previews with guests such as Marco Paolini, Federico Taddia, and Elisa Palazzi discussing the theme of water.

On September 11th at 9:30 AM, Isola Prossima will kick off with the conference "By-products: Tools and Business Cases" at the Auditorium of San Francesco al Prato.
