Tuscany Today Podcast Explores Contemporary Art and Design in Arezzo
The podcast 'Tuscany Today – Itinerari e percorsi nella Toscana contemporanea' presents its third episode, highlighting contemporary art and design in Arezzo, Italy, with support from the European Regional Development Fund (FESR) 2014/2021. Renowned for its goldsmithing and hosting Italy's largest antiques fair, Arezzo was famously selected by Roberto Benigni for 'Life Is Beautiful.' Important venues include the Galleria Comunale di Arte moderna e contemporanea, Nero Design Gallery, and Sugar Store Space. The Fiera antiquaria di Arezzo has been held monthly since 1968. Prominent architects such as Alessandro Mendini and Guido Canali have contributed to the city. Casa Masaccio Centro per l'arte contemporanea, operating since 1980, is the oldest contemporary art institution in Tuscany. The annual Cortona on the Move festival takes place in Cortona, while natural attractions feature Parco delle Foreste casentinesi and Eremo di Camaldoli.
