Discover Artimborgo, the Suvereto festival that combines sustainable art and craftsmanship. A week of creativity, with unique installations and live projects.
Every year in October, the medieval village of Suvereto hosts Artimborgo, one of the most important cultural events dedicated to art and craftsmanship in Tuscany. This festival, born in 2018, transforms the village streets into an open-air exhibition for a week, where artists and artisans will display their creations and work live, involving the public firsthand.
What is Artimborgo
Artimborgo is a festival that focuses on artisanal creativity and sustainability. Every year, artists and artisans from all over Italy meet in Suvereto, one of Italy's most beautiful villages, to create unique works and interact with the public. This event is an opportunity to discover the work of local and international artisans and immerse oneself in the world of contemporary and traditional art. Here is the Artimborgo website.
The theme of sustainability at Artimborgo 2024
The 2024 edition of Artimborgo, under the artistic direction of Veronica Papi, focused on the theme of sustainability in art and craftsmanship. Artists and artisans explored creative reuse, transforming waste materials into unique works of art. The festival not only promotes creativity but also a strong message about the importance of recycling and respect for the environment.
An example of this vision was the "Rottami al Chiostro" installation by artists Stefano Pilato and Andrea Locci, who created a large sculpture using recycled materials. The work, illuminated by fluorescent colors, represents the encounter between the marine and science fiction worlds, creating a truly evocative atmosphere.
The entire week is characterized by exhibitions, live workshops, and meeting moments, where artists and the public can interact, creating an immersive experience. Artimborgo aims to put everyone, from artists to visitors, on the same level, transforming the village of Suvereto into a place of encounter and cultural exchange.
