According to information shared with ACI Prensa, Luis Quinelli, president of the foundation, explained that the Festival of Life “It is much more than a concert”, it is a space that seeks to promote “reconciliation: with oneself, with others and with God.”

The festival featured renowned Italian artists such as Benji & Fede, Settembre, AKA 7even, as well as emerging talents such as Lowrah and Mimi.
For Quinelli, we currently live in a “polarized and fragmented world,” and that is why he explained that “deep down, the crisis we are going through globally is spiritual, and Vitae is a response to it,” especially within the framework of the celebrations of the Jubilee Year of Hope.
The Vitae Global Foundationcreated in 2012, is an international nonprofit organization supported by world-renowned leaders, artists and executives. Its mission is to promote, through art and culture, messages that inspire reconciliation and hope.
According to the organizers, this festival was “promoted and dreamed of in a special way by Pope Francis.” In May of this year, the Festival of Life was presented on the esplanade of the Zócalo in Mexico City, where, according to information from the organizers shared with ACI Prensa, around 55,000 people attended the event, which featured the participation of prominent local artists.
For next year, the organizers shared with ACI Prensa that it will be held in Washington and Los Angeles, both cities in the United States.
