The Portico della Pace returns with a widespread series of free events throughout Bologna to promote the culture of peace and nonviolence. The common thread is "Zone d'ombra - guerre ignorate" (Shadows - ignored wars), five public meetings that focus on forgotten conflicts: Srebrenica and the Balkans, Congo, Ukraine and Palestine, with exhibitions and debates at venues such as the Auditorium Gamaliele, the Antoniano and the Bertasi neighborhood center. Alongside the themed evenings, the program includes the opening of the new Casa della Pace at Strada Maggiore 4, a physical and digital space for nonviolent communication workshops, disarmament campaigns and promotion of the Universal Civil Service. Also on the calendar are the Festa della Repubblica che ripudia la guerra (Republic Day that rejects war) on June 2, 2026, training activities for teachers and students, and the 11th Marcia della pace e dell'accoglienza (Peace and Welcome March) on January 1, 2027. All events are free admission.
