Seventh edition of the Literary Festival dedicated to crime and noir.
From March 19 to 22, 2026, the Treviso Giallo Festival returns to Treviso, the literary event dedicated to the crime and noir genres. Now in its eighth edition, the festival is distinguished by its scientific and interdisciplinary approach, and by the involvement of universities, scholars, and cultural institutions from Italy and abroad.
The Luigi Bailo Museum hosts the main events of the showcase, along with some of the city’s main bookstores, featuring debates, presentations, and moments of in-depth analysis dedicated to crime as a tool for reading contemporary society. The theme chosen for this edition is “The Lie. When Truth Lies: fake news, media, and scientific investigation”, a pathway of reflection on the many forms of deception, from digital disinformation to judicial misdirection, to the role of media and narrative imagination in shaping the perception of reality.
The program proposes meetings with writers, journalists, and industry experts, offering the public opportunities for discussion on very topical themes related to communication, justice, and society.
Organized by the Venetian Academy in collaboration with Linea Edizioni and the Municipality of Treviso, and twinned with Trieste True Crime, Treviso Giallo transforms the city into a stage of suspense and reflection, where literature becomes a tool for cultural and social deepening.
