D'Puglia project bridges Lecce and Miami to promote Apulian heritage
Gordana Zgonjanin is behind the D'Puglia initiative, which aims to enhance the cultural and business landscape of Italy's Apulia region on an international scale through various exhibitions, events, charity galas, and artist residencies. Right now, the first exhibition is ongoing at Palazzo Sarciglia in Lecce and will run until July 7, 2024. Among the artists featured are names like Alessandra d'Urso and Antonio Arico. Collaborating with organizations such as Flags for Future, Fondazione Pino Pascali, and others, the project will also be highlighted during Miami Art Week from December 2–8, 2024, coinciding with Art Basel Miami.
