The Future Vintage Festival, the annual event celebrating lifestyle, fashion and communication, will stop in Padova from the 13th to the 15th of September. This festival aims to discover the inspirations and influences shaping contemporary trends, combining the value of knowledge (Vintage) with the innovation (Future), thus creating a unique bridge between yesterday and tomorrow.
Centro Culturale San Gaetano: heart of the festival in historical excellence
The beating heart of this extraordinary event is the Centro Culturale San Gaetano, located in an ancient 16th century courthouse designed by Scamozzi. Today, this building represents one of the most prestigious cultural centers in Italy, impeccably combining the historicity of the past with modern requirements. Its privileged location in the historical center of Padova makes it not only an evocative place, but also easily accessible for all participants.
I’mperfect: the Philosophy of the 2024 edition
The theme of the 2024 edition is “I’mperfect”. This year, the festival highlights everything that stands out for its originality, celebrating authentic forms and turning imperfections into real opportunities. In an era dominated by social media and new technologies that shape our daily lives, the obsession with the perfect image has found a worthy response: the appreciation and acceptance of imperfections and authenticity.
A tribute to the Greats of the past
Iconic designers and artists such as Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Frida Kahlo were able to transform their imperfections into authentic works of art. This creative and revolutionary spirit is reflected today in the emerging market, where proposals increasingly emphasis uniqueness, craftsmanship, irregularity and atypicality.
An engaging culture
The Future Vintage Festival is not just an exhibition space, but an immersive experience offering meetings with special guests to discuss culture and communication at 360°. Between exhibitions, displays and installations mixing reality and artificial intelligence, markets, workshops and special events, the festival extends with the Future Vintage Festival Off, which guides us through the night until dawn.
Just Relax & Events: the Abano Ritz package
As is tradition every year, Padua is filled with vintage, fashion and communication enthusiasts. The Abano Ritz, in its being perfectly imperfect, offers a tailor-made package for those who wish to fully experience the atmosphere of the festival: Just Relax & Events, a unique experience to enjoy some relaxation and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Future Vintage 2024.
