"From Ganzamonio to ARTE FORTE"
Denis Riva, Attese infinite, mixed media on paper, 30 x 118 cm
Stools, tables, trestles: this is what Denis Riva, known as Deriva, brings to Larino fortress for the exhibition opening Saturday 7 July.
The show is part of a bigger event, ARTE FORTE | WAITING FOR THE MOMENT, who takes place in 10 first world war fortresses, all around the Trentino region during the summer.
We had a chance to visit the artist studio in the beautiful medieval city of Follina. In a massive room, part of "Lanificio Paoletti", an historic woolen mill, Denis Riva is waiting for the moment.
Observes Mariella Rossi, curator of the show, who also adds:
But now the moment has arrived. In Forte Larino, something is about to happen. Art will dialogue with history, in each place in its own way.
