Car showroom turned art gallery La Bulle opens in Cervia
A car showroom in Cervia, Italy, has been transformed into an art gallery called La Bulle, thanks to the friendship between owner Marco Faggioli and artist Maurizio Ceccarelli. The gallery is located in the underground level of the showroom, spanning 100 square meters. The space will host cultural events, design exhibitions, and art shows, primarily featuring Ceccarelli's works. At the inauguration, a Fiat 500 with a hood decorated by Ceccarelli was presented, marking the start of a series of customized cars available on commission. The name La Bulle, French for 'the bubble,' reflects the silent, peaceful atmosphere of the underground space. Ceccarelli, who is passionate about French culture, particularly Parisian metro advertisements, has a special attachment to a work referencing the Bataclan tragedy, depicting a wounded but resilient figure as a metaphor for France. The gallery is located at Via Caduti per la Libertà 44, Cervia.
