Viafarini.work in Milan's Corvetto District Launches Summer Exhibitions and Campus
Located at Via Marco d'Agrate 33 in Milan's Corvetto district, Viafarini.work is a 1,200-square-meter venue that opened its doors in late 2021. After completing renovations, it now features fresh exhibitions and summer programs. Managed by the non-profit organization Viafarini, the space offers artist studios and co-working facilities. The exhibition titled 'Frottage. Un dispositivo socievole,' presented by Premiata Ditta (Anna Stuart Tovini and Vincenzo Chiarandà), will be on display until June 30, 2024, showcasing frottage rubbings from Municipio 4 residents. Additionally, Viafarini.work engages in social initiatives like Soulfood Forestfarms and Fantasmagoria, and hosts the Campus Itinerari Corvetto for 60 children.
