Anatolia di Borgorose\, S. Angelo di Civitella di Pescorocchiano\, S. Vittoria di Carsoli\, the so-called Baths of Cotilia in Cittaducale\, S.

SUMMARY:A Glimmer in the Shadows. Art\, Underground Life\, Crossings: Press Conference
DESCRIPTION:The project features an exhibition of works by a selection of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in L’Aquila\, accompanied by a series of temporary events. It is a group exhibition that is diverse and heterogeneous in terms of the media and artistic languages used. The project will make use of existing on-site structures\, but will also feature light and/or sound installations to complement the existing infrastructure. The aim is to revitalize the site while also highlighting its distinctive characteristics—both perceptual and symbolic—which define it due to its topographical location and morphological structure. Side events are planned\, such as musical evenings\, book presentations\, and film screenings. Each of these will be organized in collaboration with local entities (individuals\, associations\, bookstores\, etc.) in the city.
