Villa Sanquirico Opens for Artissima Art Week with 14 Artists

During Artissima Art Week, Villa Sanquirico, a Liberty-style villa in Turin, opened its doors to the public featuring a group exhibition curated by Olga Gambari, the director of Paratissima. This exhibition showcases the work of fourteen artists from various local galleries, including Riccardo Costantini, A Pick Gallery, and Gagliardi & Domke, with each artist's work displayed in separate rooms. Originally constructed in 1896 for Carlo Sanquirico, the villa was restored in the early 2000s and is recognized by Film Commission Torino as a film set. Recently acquired by an entrepreneurial couple from Turin, it is being developed into a cultural project. The exhibition, which includes artists such as Maura Banfo and Fabio Viale, runs until November 7 and delves into each artist's connection to Turin as a source of inspiration or transit. Plans for future collaborations with international artists and an emphasis on emerging talents are also in the works.
