On October 24 and 25, 2026, Piazza del Plebiscito hosts the fifth edition of the Giornate napoletane della Salute e del Benessere, a two-day public health event offering free checkups, screenings and prevention information in the center of Naples.
The initiative brings health services directly into a public square. According to Il Mattino and the Campania Region, the Health Village offers blood tests with rapid results, diabetes consultations, eye checks, vaccinations, screenings and prevention information, with activities organized by the City of Naples, local health authorities, hospitals, universities and professional associations.
When and how to take part
The event runs on Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026, from 09:30 to 18:00.
Access to visits and tests is free and no reservation is required. Visitors can go to the stands in Piazza del Plebiscito during opening hours and request the available services.
The Campania Region presents the event under the title "Salute per Tutti." The sources do not publish a complete hour-by-hour schedule for each individual service, so the exact availability of specific tests, consultations and vaccinations depends on the stands and resources present on site.
What services are offered
The program covers several areas of prevention and basic health checks, including:
- Screenings and prevention information
- Blood draws with results in about 15 minutes
- Eye checks
- Vaccinations
- Diabetes consultations
- Cognitive function tests
The Health Village is organized with the participation of the Comune di Napoli, ASL Napoli 1 Centro, Napoli 2 Nord and Napoli 3 Sud, universities, hospital authorities, professional orders and associations.
Visitors should expect a village-style layout with different stands and operators rather than a single clinic. The sources do not indicate whether some services have specific eligibility criteria beyond availability at the stands.
Also for families and pet owners
The event includes practical services designed to make prevention easier for more people.
A baby parking service is planned to allow parents to undergo checks. Dedicated services for companion animals are also planned, including microchip insertion.
These additions make the weekend useful to plan as a family visit: parents can use the childcare support to access screenings, and pet owners can ask at the veterinary stands about animal services offered during the two days.
What to know before you go
Piazza del Plebiscito is the only venue confirmed by the research for both days. All activities announced for the fifth edition take place there during the stated hours.
Because services are offered on a walk-in basis without booking, availability of individual visits, tests and vaccinations may vary according to demand and the resources available at each stand. For anyone interested in a specific screening or vaccination, the most reliable approach is to go to Piazza del Plebiscito during the event hours and check directly with the participating operators.
