Third Edition of Imagina Opens Castello Orsini's Former Prison to Public
The exhibition '1 grado di separazione' will take place in 2025 at Castello Orsini and Palazzo Chigi Albani in Soriano nel Cimino, Italy. Curated by Chiara Lorenzetti, this event is notable for the reopening of the castle's third floor, a section previously used as a prison for 140 years and closed for nearly four decades, as well as the palace gardens. Eight emerging Italian artists under the age of 30, including Roberta Argenta and Martina Biolo, will showcase site-specific artworks, emphasizing the cultural and artisanal legacies of the Italian region.
