Una Boccata d’Arte

In Avigliana, the site-specific artwork by Andrea Ferrero entitled “I see you falling in my den”

Opening on Saturday 20 June 2026 at 4 pm at the Castello fountain. The seventh edition of “Una boccata d’arte” brings the art of 20 artists to 20 villages across 20 regions. A widespread contemporary art project launched in 2020 based on an idea by Marina Nissim, President of the Elpis Foundation, and developed each year through the involvement of 20 Italian and international artists invited to create site-specific works in 20 Italian villages, one for each region. The initiative has also received the patronage of the Piedmont Region.

In the gardens beneath the ruins of Avigliana Castle, hybrid creatures—suspended between playfulness and unease—by Andrea Ferrero, curated by Veronica Botta, redefine the dynamics of our relationship with power. The grotesque, once a sign of exclusion, becomes a space for encounter and community, and play a tool for renegotiating authority.
