2008年7月5日与6日，魏京生应邀在意大利米兰参加第二次文艺复兴国际大学举办的“现代节”并演讲。此次节日的专题是“自由”。在他的两次演讲中，魏京生的主题是民主与中国。在提问阶段，魏先生回答了他的18年牢狱中的细节以及他为什么能乐观地活下来。此外，他还接受了若干媒体，包括报纸、杂志、电台和电视的采访。
在他的演讲中，魏先生描述了目前中国的现况并指出民主与自由终究会在中国实现。他特别指出，在他发表“第五个现代化 - 民主”的30年前，没有多少中国人同意“民主”；如今，民主成了中国人民不仅同意、而且向往并要求的现实，甚至是中共领导人都重复他说的话来争取民心。
受邀讲话的有世界各地的教授、学者、作家和实践者们。来自几十个国家的数百人参加了这次活动。
