Sandro Chia designs limited-edition bottle for Ferrarelle Art Collection

artist · 2026-05-05

Sandro Chia, a prominent artist associated with the Italian Transavanguardia movement, has designed a limited-edition bottle named 'Tra i faraglioni' for Ferrarelle's Art Collection. Curated by Arianna Rosica and Gianluca Riccio, the piece showcases Chia's signature solitary figure against the backdrop of the renowned Faraglioni rock formations. Since its inception in 2010, the Art Collection has produced only 1,000 numbered bottles for each edition. Notable past contributors include Ernesto Tatafiore (2010) and Maurizio Galimberti (2016). Born in Florence in 1946, Chia has been active in both the US and Italy since the Transavanguardia movement began in 1979. This collaboration follows Ferrarelle's involvement as the official water sponsor for the 2017 Festival del Paesaggio di Anacapri, where Chia previously exhibited. Founded in 1893 and sourced from Roccamonfina in Caserta, Ferrarelle has a rich artistic legacy, becoming a cultural icon in the 1980s. The article also references other artist collaborations, including Artisti per Frescobaldi and Absolut's collection featuring notable figures like Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst.
