Visioni is organised by La Baracca (at Testoni Ragazzi Theatre, Bologna). Since 2004, the festival offers a rich program of performances for children aged 0 to 6. Alongside the shows, it hosts conferences, round tables, seminars, and workshops, all focused on the relationship between art and early childhood. La Baracca received the ASSITEJ Award for Artistic Excellence in 2008.The festival is co-programmed with the Municipality of Bologna and has been continuously co-financed by EACEA since its inception.

Additional details: The festival has led to the development of several experimental projects: 1)AMEY – Artists Meet Early Years: An international call for artists under 35, offering the opportunity to present new artistic ideas in the form of studio works within early childhood services. 2) A Story About to Begin: In May 2021, when access to services was restricted, La Baracca launched Visionifestival.it, a digital platform that enabled three crèches to host online performances, continuing artistic engagement despite limitations. 3) 0/3 Chiama Italia: A national initiative encouraging Italian theatre companies to create work for the 0–3 age group. The upcoming edition, scheduled from 8th to 15th March 2026, will feature: 38 performances for schools and families, 4 shows inside local crèches, 6 international meetings, 10 workshops with guests from around the world, 17 participating companies, including 11 international ones. We do not have a fixed delegate programme concentrated in a few days; instead, delegates are free to attend at their convenience. To make their stay easier, we arrange significant discounts with nearby hotels and provide letters of invitation to support any funding requests.
