Are you thinking of a different winter city break? No snow trails and no skiing?<\/p>\n
Turin is your place!<\/strong><\/p>\n Long underrated and disregarded in comparison with well known beautiful Italian cities like Rome, Florence, Venice or Naples, Turin is now gaining more and more reputation as the Italian capital for modern art.<\/p>\n Its private and public museums and foundations house modern and contemporary art collections<\/strong> none to any other in Europe: Foundation Re Rebuadengo<\/a><\/strong>, Mario Merz Foundation<\/a><\/strong>, Museo Arte Contemporanea Castello Rivoli<\/strong> <\/a>are just a few you can name.<\/p>\n The art<\/strong> challenge of Turin is becoming even more ambitious: unlock art from institutional places and let it live free in the city streets.
\nSince winter 1998 the best known artists and performers have been invited to cover the city streets and main places with their works.
\nTurin shines with lights and fairy atmospheres on occasion of each\u00a0“Luci d’<\/strong>\u00a0Artista”<\/strong>\u00a0event\u00a0from the beginning of November till the beginning of January : does it not remind you of \u201cWinter solstice\u201d celebrations when primitive men greeted the coming back of their vital star, the sun?<\/p>\n\n\t\t
