Street Art lives again in the villages of Molise

We're here nowCivitacampomarano, in the province of Campobasso, one of the most evocative villages of Molise challenges the cities with street art. The phenomenon takes hold in small towns, attracts and lends a hand to those who want to experience the villages but also the suburbs in a culture. Let's say that environmental sustainability gains. Who doesn't mind walking in narrow streets and alleys wrapped in multicolored graffiti. The soul rejoices and the pleasure of seeing these street artists work too, a  Civitacampomarano repeats for the fourth time. 

We recently talked about the Padua street art festival here. A few days later from 13 to 16 June the Molise kermesse directed by Alice Pasquini. The artists will meet for de life at a party with very ambitious goals. Pfirst of all the meritorious invitation to come and visit this place which four years ago was in danger of having no more inhabitants. Artists arrive from all over, proud to be together and "attack" those walls chosen by the Pro loco with their techniquesThe inhabitants are happy to welcome people who come from Argentina, Norway, Portugal, Germany. Everything clean and tidy as for those who live there all year round. In a central region of Italy that is small and rich in traditions . Italian graffiti artists I'm already at home like Pasquini, accomplished artist herselfIn the three days sThey have been called to paint for free Milu Correch, Argentina, known for making large-scale murals; Martin Whatson, Norwegian street artist known for calligraphic scribbles in shades of gray; AddFuel, aka Diogo Machado, Portuguese and known for working on small to medium sized tile panels;  Jan Vorman, artist, lecturer and founding member of T10 Studios in Berlin who often works with Lego. he Italians are those of the Studio Aira of Ascoli Piceno. They represent multi-sensory landscapes by putting together video, graphics, light and sound. 

It is new art to support a celebration of colours, sounds and flavours. The ingredients of good living, where Vincenzo Cuoco was born, protagonist of the Neapolitan revolution of 1799, a place where counter-brigandage was fought, and where there is a castle that inspired Alessandro Manzoni for the character of the Unnamed of the Betrothed. Bewitching are defined as the walls waiting to be colored to give substance to a winning strategy that aims to counteract abandonment and degradation. It is valid here but it can be valid for the whole of Italy. Director Alice Pasquini sees the appointment as the ability of a small community to get involved to see his native places transformed and reborn in an original way, through the signs of a creative, voluntary and - hopefully - permanent manual skill. All in real time with music, cinema and food and wine around him as he conceived it Ylenia Carelli, president of the Pro Loco of Civitacampomarano. For her the three days is to be lived directly, because the works are made there in the midst of the people, indistinct, between those who are part of the 400 resident souls and those who arrive to give meaning to a valid operation cultural.
