Vittoriale Lab 2027: the Workshop of the Possible in Gardone Riviera

The Vittoriale degli Italiani closes Vittoriale Lab — the national ideas competition for under-25s, supported by the Lombardy Region with creative input from Factanza — with the Workshop of the Possible. On 30 and 31 January 2027 ten selected young people work inside the citadel in Gardone Riviera, guided by innovation experts, entrepreneurs and creative professionals.

The workshop ends on 31 January 2027 with the public presentation of the “Manifesto of the Future”, a collective text and performance born from the participants’ ideas.

How to get there

Applications are open until 30 October 2026: open to young people resident or domiciled in Italy who have not yet turned 25 on that date, with no qualifications or experience required. You send a video of up to three minutes and a written proposal of up to three pages on one of the three challenges: Nature and Artifice, Digital Squares, The Augmented Body. A jury selects the semi-finalists, who take a video interview; the ten finalists come from that stage.
