ArteFiuggi 2026: 36 Galleries Launch First Contemporary Art Fair in Fiuggi, September 11–13
The inaugural ArteFiuggi, a contemporary and modern art fair, will take place from September 11 to 13, 2026, at the Fiuggi Convention Centre in Italy. Nicola Monti, the founder and son of dealer Pio Monti, developed the fair over a span of two years. Having spent 32 years in his father's gallery, Monti intends to relaunch it in a new format. Collaborating with Antonio Evangelista, the project also includes a team featuring Paolo Iurescia, Rosaria Musumarra, and Stefano Giorgilli. Notable exhibitors comprise established galleries such as La Nuova Pesa and Galleria Volos, alongside emerging ones like A Pick Gallery. Featured artworks include pieces by Schifano, Festa, and Turcato. Admission is free, with operating hours from 10 to 20. ArteFiuggi 2027 is already in the works for the following year.
