(May 3, 2017) In the mountains of Trentino there is an open-air museum where art and nature coexist: it is called “Arte Sella” and every year it welcomes artists from all over the world to create works inspired by unique history and nature of that place. A cultural event in Germany is dedicated to “Arte Sella”, where mountains meets contemporary art: on Thursday, May 11, at 6.30 pm, at the Italian Institute of Culture in Munich, it will be presented “Sella: The Contemporary Mountain” (a Photographic exhibition, the projection of a documentary and a debate). During the evening – organized by IIC in collaboration with Forum Italia – Giacomo Bianchi, president of “Arte Sella” and author of the official shootings of the association, will talk about the project with Fabiana Saviano, a scholar of Germanism, English and translation who lives in Monaco since 2006. “Arte Sella” was born in experimental form in 1986, when a group of friends living in Borgo Valsugana meets in Val di Sella, in the garden of Villa Strobele, imagining to combine contemporary art and nature. Thus begins a period of contacts with local cultural institutions, with the population and with artists, mainly foreigners. Even though the Arte Sella project has existed since 1986 with the first installations and exhibitions in the garden of Villa Strobele in Val di Sella, the “Arte Sella” Association was formally born in October 1989 under the auspices of Emanuele Montibeller. The evening at the Italian Institute of Culture will be in Italian and German. (Red)
