Stefania Loreto's 'Tracce di Nero Carbone' at Triora's Witch Museum
From August 23 to November 22, 2026, the Museo di Triora in Triora, Italy, will showcase Stefania Loreto's solo exhibition titled 'Tracce di Nero Carbone.' This event coincides with the Strigòra festival, established in 2001 to honor the witch trials that occurred between 1587 and 1589. The Comune and Associazione Turistica Pro Triora are organizing this edition, which will kick off at 11:30 AM and feature a discussion with Loreto and Irene Sarà. Loreto's drypoint creations on upcycled Tetra Pak delve into themes of female archetypes and the 'Monstrous Feminine.' Set in Palazzo Stella, the exhibition includes symbols such as pentacles and mirrors, aiming to reclaim dignity for marginalized women and redefine Triora’s identity as the 'town of witches.'
