For the first time in the Pavese, in the center of the village of Retorbido, an urban art collective.
The ancient tradition of spreading precious drapes of the kit for the passage of the procession is renewed and becomes art in the wind. From an idea by Stefania Porte, edited by Cinzia Dicorato, promoted by the Proloco, with the patronage of the Municipality of Retorbido, whose balconies of the center and the castle, are enriched with sheets painted as works of art. 27 artists from all over Italy were involved in the realization, in an installation to spread beauty and send a message of sisterhood. The exhibition after being in various Italian cities arrives for the first time in Lombardy, in the village of Retorbido: from 9 March to 23 March the drapes will enrich and make the center a real open -air tunnel.
The canvases all have the same size 250 × 150, and each artist on the sheets represented his own female dimension and expressed his creativity freely.
"The idea starts from the tradition of exposing bedspreads and sheets for religious reasons, a very widespread tradition in the Mediterranean countries. During the processions, the most beautiful and original or more precious covered covered that was kept at home, a bed blanket perhaps received as a dowry for the wedding or inherited from the parents, the blanket exposed in this case assumed a double value sacred, a particular devotion was made to Effects a sacred object for the family, precious not only from a purely economic point of view but above all from an emotional point of view.
