exhibition · 2026-08-26

The exhibition "Rosa Orsa" is taking place from August 20 to 23 at Palazzo Rosa in Valle Cascia di Montecassiano, as part of the I Fumi della Fornace festival. Featuring artists such as Ado Brandimarte, Daniele Di Girolamo, and Marzio Zorio, the showcase presents a variety of works including sculpture, installation, light, sound, performance, and drawing. It delves into the concept of objects and spaces in the wake of their functional use. Palazzo Rosa, a former productive site, reflects the festival's 2026 theme, "Lasciare la festa."
