This year, the Festival's "motto" is a phrase that could come out of Fabio's mind and mouth, "Let's bomb the world with good things", those good things that create nourishment in its broadest sense. A nourishment from above and below that has made Florence the unique place we all know. Food -and not only- seen therefore as care, as sharing, as union, as social glue and vehicle of emotions. And it is with this spirit that the four days of the festival develop.

The theme of Thursday 29 May is dedicated to "food as a moment of union". Many appointments of what would be in all respects the pre-opening day but which is now increasingly loved by shops and institutions, bookshops and cafes, to explore themes and offer food for thought or sharing.

As per tradition, Friday is the day dedicated to Fabio Picchi but also the most emotional and that brings the story dedicated to food and art as nourishment, to its highest levels. Many activities today of the local shops and artisan workshops, of all types, that will bring the Festival to one of its days richest in events and insights.

Food is not only the ultimate goal with which we nourish ourselves. Behind it, there is an entire chain of people, activities, lands, animals, passions and intense work. A work that is not only that of the fields. Over time, in fact, we have understood that research is essential for the protection of ourselves and the planet. Discover all the events of this day dedicated to the care and awareness of the environment.

The concerts at "SALE" are an opportunity to spend a Saturday dedicated to great music, listening to talented bands and artists of great fame such as David Grissom, an extraordinary American guitarist who has played with the greatest contemporary bands! From the morning at 10:00am and until 7:00pm, a long musical journey that you absolutely cannot miss.

On Saturday 31 May at SALE the central theme is "FOOD AS A CURE AND CONSCIOUS CHOICE". This year Teatro del Sale and Cibrèo are dedicating the entire day to sustainability, a very current topic of which Fabio Picchi has been a pioneering spokesperson since 1979. From 10:00 to 17:00 you can participate in «L’ORTO VOLANTE» workshops and stands of important producers who have made sustainability, biodiversity and organic a real success.

The grand finale of SALE is always a collective celebration designed for everyone, absolutely everyone: neighborhood, city and citizens, partners and professionals, no one excluded. Indeed, this is precisely the spirit with which Sunday's event was conceived: a society that creates nourishment and celebrates the beauty of its collective activities, in fact, cannot be considered as such if even a single subject remains outside of that nourishment or its celebration.
