On Saturday, 26 September 2026, the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo marked the twentieth anniversary of its Young Curators Residency Programme in Guarene, Piedmont. Established in 2007, this initiative has welcomed nearly sixty curators from around the globe and facilitated connections with over two hundred Italian artists. The event commenced with a discussion on the global perception of Italian art, followed by two exhibitions: "What about us. Arte italiana dallo Young Curators Residency Programme," curated by Michele Bertolino, and "Just like heaven," featuring Alexis Puget's first solo exhibition, curated by Leonardo Pietropaolo. Attendees also revealed "Anguane's Fountain," a sculpture by Diana Policarpo. Among the notable guests were Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Guarene's mayor, Simone Manzone. "What about us" will be on display until 28 February 2027, while "Just like heaven" is available until 8 November 2026.
