Cantina dei Colli Ripani's charity art exhibition 338xDIECI
The Cantina dei Colli Ripani, a cooperative winery located in Ripatransone, Marche, was established in the late 1960s and brings together 338 local producers. This year’s festival, taking place from July 27 to 28, will feature a conference at Teatro Luigi Mercantini focused on agriculture, sustainability, and resource management, alongside wine, food, and music. Additionally, from July 13 to 28, 2024, the exhibition "338xDIECI. Gli artisti raccontano i Colli Ripani," curated by Alex Urso, will be showcased at FIUTO Art Space. Ten artists, including Eliana Albertini and Fernando Cobelo, have created artworks reflecting the winery's essence. Proceeds from sales will benefit charity. Recently, the winery achieved Equalitas sustainability certification and restored a historic theater curtain damaged in 2017. In December 2023, it also launched the Club dei Colli Ripani wine bar, which includes a permanent art section featuring pieces from FIUTO Art Space.
