Opening: Una Boccata d’Arte

Una Boccata d’Arte is an Italy-wide art project that brings contemporary art to small towns and historic villages. Every year, 20 artists are invited to create site-specific projects in 20 different places, one in each of Italy’s 20 regions. Each project is developed in direct dialogue with the place itself – its history, its people and the surrounding landscape.

In Klausen, Una Boccata d’Arte finds a particularly fitting setting: this artists’ town in the Eisack Valley brings together a long artistic tradition, a medieval old town and a lively public space. This is where the 2026 project begins.

Artist Francesco Alberico:
Francesco Alberico, born in Pescara in 1996, works across sculpture, performance and drawing. His artistic research focuses in particular on the relationship between imagination and public space.
