Registration doors swing open for the second edition of the “Livorno ei Livornosi” painting competition, orchestrated by Tanacchi d’Arte e di Mare. The theme, embraced once again due to overwhelming participant enthusiasm, revolves around the cherished city of Livorno, adorned by its captivating seascape and vibrant populace. The familiar theme promises to unveil the heart and soul of Livorno through the artistic expressions of its residents.
A Fresh Stroke: Merchants as Art Partners
This year brings a novel twist to the canvas, with the enthusiastic involvement of Corso Amedeo’s merchants. These business owners will graciously host selected artworks in their windows, transforming the thoroughfare into a vibrant open-air gallery. A discerning jury will curate the pieces, and citizens will have the opportunity to cast their votes online, ensuring a democratic selection process. This unique approach allows Livorno’s denizens to witness the artistic creations firsthand, transcending the digital realm and materializing within the city’s bustling streets.
The Connoisseurs Behind the Judgment
Guiding the fate of the competition is a distinguished jury comprising two accomplished Livorno-based artists and art educators: Fabio Leonardi and Andrea Pucci. Their discerning eyes and artistic sensibilities will play a pivotal role in recognizing the talents that breathe life into Livorno’s visual narrative.
