The new edition of the Literature, Art and Philosophy Festival "Ciclopica. Giants on the Hill', will be held in Amelia from 28 to 20 June 2024.
The event stems from the idea of making the city of Amelia a cultural, modern and visionary centre.
This year the Festival will explore the theme of myth and the power of narratives, starting with the question: 'who still believes in their myths?
What do the great mythical narratives evoke and what do they move in us, these stories that never needed to have actually happened in order to be real, if they have been - for millennia - the status of what is real?
The unmistakable illustrations will be, as per tradition, by Momusso.

On the evening of Friday 28 June, there will be an exceptional location: the 16th-century Villa Aspreta.
Performing in the garden of the Villa will be Ivan Segreto, one of the most original and transversal contemporary musicians on the Italian scene, who, along with his hit pieces, will perform some reinterpretations of famous Italian songs: Modugno, Battiato and Puccini.
In addition, there will be numerous guests at the conferences and debates: among them the historian Carlo Ginzburg, one of the most famous in the world in his field, the philosopher and Greek scholar Maria Michela Sassi, the pro-rector of the University of Pollenzo Michele Antonio Fino, the architect and landscape architect Annalisa Metta, the philosophers Massimo Donà, Florinda Cambria, Marco Moschini and Massimo Adinolfi, the art historian Michele Dantini, and many others. 
Among the entertainment events of the 2024 edition, the conference-reading with Massimo De Lorenzo, the iconic face of the cult series 'Boris', who will participate together with the actresses Giulia Mombelli and Cristina Pellegrino on Saturday 30 June at 9.30 p.m., is worth mentioning. 
There will also be workshops for children, exhibitions including one by artist Emiliano Alfonsi and a video installation by Vincenzo Schino of Operabianco.
