At the heart of this edition will be the opening of Hotel Cittadellarte, an innovative hospitality and artistic space hosting an exhibition spread throughout the building, featuring works by Giuseppe Stampone. The programme runs throughout the year, with exhibitions, talks, workshops and participatory activities designed to encourage shared reflection on the contribution art can make to building fairer and more inclusive models of development.
