Two focal points of
development: the emphasis on one aspect of Turin lesser known heritage
represented by Liberty and the message of innovation, positive spirit and
content of research in the philosophy of Liberty itself.
The movement developed in Britain as a decorative technique at the end
of '800 inspired by the beauty of the cards used for the packaging of tea from
the Far East of this vast empire, became transformed during the first half of
the last century in philosophy. It encompassed all the arts sweeping through
Europe with names and different aspects in each country. In Turin, the
development of this philosophy is realized through the widespread dissemination
in the field of architecture and urban planning that make the city an excellent
example of the Liberty style.
Six artists of the
project: Erika Dardano, Jessica Dardano, Chiara Miola, Danilo Monateri and
Greta Staltari, all talented young people professionally involved in the art
world who have their studios in Turin, for years considered one of the capitals of contemporary art.
