During the festival, a book fair is held, accompanied by a program of readings, meetings, seminars, round tables, presentations and film screenings. The festival was attended by academic institutions, publishing houses, magazines and TV programmes, covering classical and contemporary art. The festival is named after the Italian painter and writer Giorgio Vasari of Arezzo.

He was the first art historian. He wrote a comprehensive "competition" of texts on the work of artists of his time. Each year one of the art movements is selected. Then, texts, reports, lectures, and already published books on the subject, are picked. An almanac is published based on the results. The festival is included in the top of Russian cultural events.
