Codalunga's Historic Venue in Vittorio Veneto to Reopen as Permanent Exhibition Space
Italian artist Nico Vascellari's innovative art initiative, Codalunga, is evolving rather than shutting down, with a sale on its e-shop indicating the conclusion of a chapter. The historic site at Via Martiri della Libertà 20 in Vittorio Veneto will transition into a permanent exhibition venue. Established in 2005, Codalunga has showcased over 200 exhibitions, featuring artists such as Jimmie Durham and Banks Violette. Born in 1976 in Vittorio Veneto, Vascellari is focused on revitalizing Serravalle's historic center, which includes restoring "Palazzo Vascellari" for his collection. The introduction of merchandise and pop-up stores reflects the project's ongoing journey, with the sale on codalunga.org marking a fresh start.
