XNL Aperto 2024: Piacenza's third edition expands with new venues and exhibitions
The third edition of XNL Aperto, a festival aimed at linking cultural professionals with the heritage of Piacenza, is set to commence on September 14, 2024. This year's lineup features prominent institutions such as the Musei Civici di Palazzo Farnese and the contemporary art initiative CONSORTIA at Ex Consorzio Agrario di Piacenza. Propp has crafted the visual identity, incorporating a horse symbol that nods to two bronze equestrian statues. Highlights include exhibitions like Fenestella with Diana Ejaita and others, VOLUMNIA featuring Michele De Lucchi and others, Alfabeto Bianco by Francesca and Ruggero Montrasio, Adji Dieye at UNA galleria, and a retrospective of Ugo Locatelli at Spazio BFT. Local museums, including Galleria d'Arte Moderna Ricci Oddi and Galleria Alberoni, will also be involved, with routes extending to surrounding villages.
