Conceived and strongly desired by the Il Palagio Committee, this unique open-air exhibition was created by Professor Franco Benedetti, a painting exhibition that starts in Piazza Santo Stefano and develops along Via Oberdan, Via del Giuggiolo and Via dei Colletti.

Professor Franco Benedetti, who graduated from the “Passaglia” art institute and subsequently from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, wanted to give a great demonstration of love towards his neighbourhood by making his indisputable talent and great creativity available, creating the paintings using utility doors, such as water/gas/electricity and gutter connections, as a base.
