Valerio Berruti on Living and Working in the Langhe: 'Never Felt the Need to Live Away'

In an interview with Artribune's 'Provincia Cosmica,' Italian artist Valerio Berruti (b. 1977, Alba) shares insights about his ties to the Langhe region, where he resides and creates art. Renowned for his depictions of children, Berruti asserts that he does not require the validation of a large city, even after visiting places like New York, Japan, and South Africa. He discusses his sculpture located in Piazza Michele Ferrero, which draws inspiration from 'Alba' as both a city and a feminine name. Berruti emphasizes the importance of solitude over isolation, appreciating the quiet of the Langhe for his creativity. He has showcased his work in significant exhibitions, including a recent display at Palazzo Reale in Milan, and will be featured at Narni Città Teatro from September 11 to 13.
