Comet Poesia Festival

Comet Poesia Festival is a cultural event held annually in Petralia Soprana, a hilltop town in the Madonie mountains, celebrating poetry as a shared practice of reflection, care, and transformation. Over four days, the festival turns the village into a poetic laboratory through readings, mindful walks, workshops, meditative gatherings, and site-specific performances. Historic squares, scenic terraces, and narrow alleys become stages for collective imagination and encounter. Rooted in the idea of poetry as resistance and renewal, Comet invites artists, locals, and visitors to experience words as a form of healing and presence. Each edition centers on a symbolic theme, exploring connections between language, spirituality, and community. Comet Poesia is a festival that values slowness, attention, and the evocative power of poetry as a necessary and transformative act.
