Spoleto has a privileged relation with contemporary art, due to the sparkling atmosphere in the city since the mid-20th century.
It is in this fecund milieu, testified to by the excellent collection at the Carandente Museum, that the artists of the “Gruppo di Spoleto” could mature, and initiatives such as the “Spoleto Prize” and “Sculptures In The City” could be conceived.
This exceptional opening to the contemporary is fed by the vitality of Palazzo Collicola Visual Arts and its continuously evolving collections, and by many artists who, by birth or by choice, contribute to keep this age-old city alive and young.
