The 8th and 9th of May 2026 Rome hosts the second edition of TreSeiZero – Media Pop FEST, the festival promoted by ÀP – Antimafia Pop Academy that looks at the cultural productions that have been able to shake the collective imagination creating social and political debate, with the intent to talk about present and feed a look capable of building future. The festival reaches its second year with an explicit title – GOMORRA. Among the meshes of the System – which is inspired by Gomorra, the famous novel by Roberto Saviano that marked a point of no return in the way of telling and knowing the mafias and that today, at twenty years exact from its publication, asks us before an inevitable question: what did we really learn from Gomorra?
After novel, film and television series Gomorra was able to rewrite and build a new global imaginary of organized crime. The story of the “System” was imposed as a lens through which to read not only the chamorra, but the profound transformations of contemporary society, in a continuous tension between local and global dimension.
TreSeiZero – Media Pop FEST, la struttura
The festival, realized with the media partnership of VD News, the patronage of Municipio Roma
VII, the contribution of Fondazione Haiku Lugano and Fondazione Alta Mane and the support of CSV
Lazio, will be divided into thematic panels inspired by the chapters of the book and its most significant audiovisual transpositions – from “System” to “Porto”, from “Cement armed” to “Kalashnikov” and “Hollywood” – to address issues such as drug trafficking, criminal economies, urban peripheries, environmental impact, the role of education and the construction of contemporary imaginary.
