Una Boccata d'Arte returns for fourth edition across 20 Italian villages
The fourth installment of Una Boccata d'Arte, a contemporary art project, is set to begin in late June 2023, organized by Fondazione Elpis, Galleria Continua, and the Milan-based curatorial group Threes. From June 26 to September 24, 20 artists will present site-specific installations in 20 Italian villages, tailored to their unique environments. Among the featured villages are Pollina (PA), Fosdinovo (MS), Costozza (VI), and Cetara (SA). Artists such as Stefanie Egedy, Invernomuto, Jacopo Benassi, and Leonardo Meoni will participate. The Threes team will oversee curation in Fénis, Vermogno, and Gardone Riviera. This initiative seeks to showcase Italy’s lesser-known cultural heritage, steering clear of conventional art and tourism.
