In Brescello, the famous village in the lowlands of Reggio Emilia immortalized by the stories of Don Camillo and Peppone, Parva Mundi returns: the festival celebrating the 'Little World'. From September 18 to 20, 2026, this town overlooking the Po River transforms into an open-air stage unfolding across piazzas, narrow alleys, parks, and riverbanks, honoring local community identity and traditions through cinema, literature, music, and food and wine. The rich program pays tribute to the world of Giovannino Guareschi and local history. Highlights include the reenactment of the legendary football match between Dinamo and Gagliarda, the solemn procession with the blessing of the Po River, and the historical reenactment of the 1946 elections, held to commemorate the 80th anniversary of women's suffrage with Mayor Peppone taking center stage.
