FROM 2013 ....... WHY THIS EXHIBITION

          The idea of ​​the exhibition comes from the desire to give life to "dead houses": houses and shops of the historical center, for long time unused.

The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to appreciate a rich exhibition in an original, widespread and itinerant, set that transforms the whole village into a whole and unique art gallery.

This initiative recalls the ancient artistic vocation of Bossolasco, which welcomes and loves people, a place of tranquility, inspiration and serenity, where artists can draw energy and sensitivity for their creations.

Bossolasco a small strip of land in the Langhe between the Alps and the sea, with its many traditions and legends creates a magical, truly fascinating atmosphere.  And it's exactly the essence of such a magical place - where some important Piedmontese fine artists of the first and second IXX century stayed- that suggested to the communal administration of that time, to call Bossolasco "The Pearl" of the Langhe.

Here the "genius loci" favors the user in appreciating the works outside the usual circuits museum - straddling history and tradition - all in the wake of a positive and far-sighted momentum for the future of Bossolasco and its inestimable heritage.

The iridescence of this "Pearl" returns today to illuminate the mind of those who have always believed and wanted Bossolasco to shine again with this magical light.
