ART IN THE WIND: 30 Italian artists rewrite tradition on the balconies of Ruvo di Puglia
From 21 to 28 April 2026, the historic center is transformed into an open-air gallery where works of art float free, recovering the ancient ritual of blankets displayed during processions. The urban installation "L'Arte nel Vento" returns on the occasion ofessere - Festival di Processi. Born in 2021 and already a protagonist in cities such as: Andria (Bat), Padua, Potenza, Presicce (Le), Retorbido (Pv) and Ceprano (Fr), the initiative arrives in Ruvo di Puglia (Ba) bringing with it the breath of 30 artists from all over Italy. The event is strictly female; the choice to involve only women is a tribute to the craftsmanship of the embroiderers of the past, but also an act of contemporary affirmation. The 30 artists involved bring their gaze to the world, using the sheet as a space of freedom, denunciation and expression of their moods. On display the works of:
