Giacomo Guidi Launches Contemporary Cluster in Rome's Aventino District
Giacomo Guidi, the previous owner of Giacomo Guidi Arte Contemporanea, is set to unveil Contemporary Cluster on the Aventino hill in Rome, with financial backing from outside investors. This innovative venue will blend various disciplines, including visual arts, photography, video, jewelry, metalwork, fashion, music, and automobiles. It will house showrooms, a unique vinyl store, a bookshop curated by Colli Independent, and a lounge area. Guidi plans to partner with industry leaders like Susanna Ferrante and Yssei Fugita in fashion, and Carlo Berarducci in architecture. Collaborations also include Fornace Falcone for ceramics and Delta shipyard for carbon fiber. Operating 14 hours a day, Cluster aims to create limited-edition products, appealing to youth and global tourists to broaden Rome's attractions beyond its historical sites.
