Bologna, all the beauty of art Fiera

Everyone at the fair in Bologna this weekend: it’s worth it because Fiera art It presents himself interesting, carrying his age well (he is 51 years old, The longest -lived of art fairs in Italy). The beauty of art Fiera is its “accessibility”, and not only because i pavilions 25 And 26 Where it is hosted they are wide and full of light, but because it proposes to the public, also that of non -experts, forms of art of immediate understanding, we could say pop. A fair made in Italy, almost all 176 Galleries present are Italian, and enjoyable: Simone Menegoi who directed it for seven years, and this is the edition of the farewell, had the merit of keeping everything together, and it was not easy.

From today and until Sunday The fair opens to the public and can be a good idea to spend a different weekend: comfortably reachable from the station (also with the Bus 35calculated 15 minutes), Arte Fiera is divided into two distinct pavilions: enter the 26th if you are more interested To the art of the twentieth century And to the modern, throw yourself in the 25 if they intrigue you more contemporary creatives. The guide with the map at the entrance is essential to better orient themselves among the various sections of the fair: next to the Main Secationthis year there is also a part dedicated to Photograph (very beautiful: after we deepen), one on Multiplesthat is, on the works in series, one on contemporary painting and one – the novelty of 2025 – called Prospect. You will find it following the light green color: edited by Michele d’Aurizio, it is dedicated to intercepting the emerging artiststhey are represented by young or established galleries, who create works with waste material (there are eight galleries, in restricted spaces, with in single project: all very interesting, you can find them from the Booth B77 to the B93). Another good idea of ​​the fair, which invites visitors to a treasure hunt with the map in hand, is the theme of the route, this year dedicated to the idea of ​​”community”: here the color to follow is the violathe galleries involved are many, with works that reason about the sense of common living, presenting works that we can also define as “political”, certainly attentive to the great topical issues.
