Strabilianti 2025, THE PARALYMPIC SPORT AND DISABILITY CULTURE FESTIVAL RETURNS

Three days of debates, interviews and sports tests in the company of great champions. The appointment with Strabilianti, the festival of Paralympic sports and disability culture, is scheduled for October 23 and 24, 2025 at the Modigliani Forum in Livorno

The event, now in its fourth edition, returns with a rich program of events to tell the story of sports as a means of inclusion and growth, but also as an opportunity for meeting, culture, and fun.

Amazing is born as a dream dedicated to all those people who in life – not just in sports – have been able to take on a challenge and win it, choosing to live in the world freely and fully. The goal is clear: to give voice and visibility to those stories that involve disability and are often considered “extraordinary”, and transform them into tales of everyday beauty.

It could only be Livorno, a city always dedicated to sports and with the highest number of Olympic and Paralympic medals in Italy, to host an event of this kind. With Amazing, the city reaffirms itself as a driving force for Paralympic sports and a laboratory for inclusivity, accessibility, and participation.
