CDP and MAECI Launch Industrial Patronage Project with Eight Under-35 Artists
The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, along with Fondazione Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, has initiated 'We Love Art: Vision and Creativity Made in Italy', which connects eight artists under 35 with prominent Italian industrial companies. Curated by Marco Bassan and Ludovico Pratesi, the participating artists are Alice Ronchi for Snam, Giulio Saverio Rossi for Tim, Tomaso De Luca for Eni, Giulia Cenci for Terna, Benni Bosetto for Open Fiber, Namsal Siedlecki for Ansaldo Energia, Lulù Nuti for Webuild, and Amedeo Polazzo for CDP Immobiliare. The artworks premiered in Seoul, South Korea, and will subsequently be displayed in Chongqing, New York, Mexico City, Cairo, and Berlin, concluding their tour in June 2022 before becoming part of Fondazione Cassa Depositi e Prestiti's permanent collection.
