Galleria Alfonso Artiaco Celebrates 30 Years in Naples
Galleria Alfonso Artiaco is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special exhibition in Naples. Established in 1986 in Pozzuoli on Corso Nicola Terracciano, the gallery has relocated several times: it moved to Via Mameli in 1995, returned to Corso Terracciano in 1997, shifted to Piazza dei Martiri in 2003, and is now situated at Piazzetta Nilo. The two-day celebration commenced on Friday, December 16, with attendees enjoying Puccini's La Bohème at Teatro San Carlo, marking 120 years since its debut. The following day featured the exhibition launch at the gallery, followed by a dinner at Refettorio di Santa Chiara. The exhibition showcases works by artists such as Carl Andre, Giovanni Anselmo, and others, culminating in a grand event at Palazzo de Sangro di Vietri that attracted the entire Neapolitan art community and numerous visitors.
