The Metropolitan PD party of Milan will host its annual ‘Festa dell’Unità’ under the title ‘Our Full Voice’ (Tutta la nostra voce). The event is scheduled to take place from September 5th to 14th at the ARCI headquarters in the Corvetto district.
The ten-day festival will feature an extensive program of 81 events, including 34 book presentations, with 326 guests slated to participate. A key highlight will be the attendance of PD Secretary Elly Schlein on September 12th.
The festival will draw mayors from across Italy, including Milan’s Giuseppe (Beppe) Sala, Silvia Salis, Sara Funaro, Matteo Lepore, Gaetano Manfredi, and Elena Carnevali. The stage will also feature prominent political figures such as Pier Luigi Bersani, Matteo Renzi, Nicola Fratoianni, and Maurizio Landini, alongside regional and national PD leaders like Chiara Braga, Francesco Boccia, and Nicola Zingaretti.
Further enriching the discourse, guests from journalism, culture, and civil society will also contribute. This list includes economist Carlo Cottarelli, journalists Ezio Mauro, Marco Damilano, and Mario Calabresi, author Gianrico Carofiglio, as well as Pegah Moshir Pour, Paola Caridi, and Ernesto Maria Ruffini.
Alessandro Capelli, secretary of the Milan PD, emphasized the event’s significance: “We are aware that this festival occurs at a delicate and important time for our city and its future. From this festival, we will also relaunch our political initiative and strengthen the political and social coalition that governs our city and the metropolitan area.”
