Via Stradella è cultura: Turin Street Festival Becomes Cultural Outpost
The "Via Stradella è cultura" initiative in Turin is set to continue until Sunday, 27 September 2026, evolving a neighborhood street festival into a culturally inclusive project. Organized by Archivio Dimauro Aps alongside local groups, it takes place in the Spina Reale district, merging public art, historical narratives, local businesses, and social cohesion. The launch weekend aligns with the Festa di Autunno, showcasing Peruvian artists and activities such as Storie di storie, featuring readings by Edwin Rojas Espinal, along with a guided tour of Borgata Tesso's heritage. On 27 September, Via Stradella will transform into a pedestrian zone with open shops, street food, traditional dances, live painting, and the unveiling of two new Panchine della Spina, celebrating Edoardo Di Mauro's legacy.
