A project by Fondazione Elpis

in collaboration with Galleria Continua

with the participation of Threes Productions

From Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th June 2022, Una Boccata d’Arte is back: a contemporary art project, spread throughout Italy, by Fondazione Elpis in collaboration with Galleria Continua and with the participation of Threes Productions, that promotes a coming together of contemporary art with the country’s artistic and scenic heritage. 

Throughout the summer, until 18th September, 20 of the most beautiful and evocative villages in Italy, one for every region, will be home to 20 art interventions realised by 20 artists of different genders, ages, cultures, places and artistic languages.

Una Boccata d’Arte started in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic: a unanimous and original project that’s akin to a unique cultural itinerary that each year invites the public to discover 20 new Italian villages, rich with centuries old traditions and natural beauty, far from the well-trodden tourist paths and art circuits. Thanks to their small size, these villages become the perfect place for an authentic and intimate contemporary art experience that is unique for the surprising dialogue that it generates between the surrounding area, the artworks, the local people and the visitors.

The third edition is different for the fact that a twenty-first artist will conceive a special project that connects all the villages.
