"A street art festival can only be born through the participation and sharing of the project by an entire community. In this perspective, the inhabitants of Civitacampomarano themselves competed to make the most beautiful wall, the most enchanting glimpse, the most precious panorama available to the artists. Each of the six artists is invited to perform their own intervention on the skin of the ancient village over the four days in which the event will take place, working in close contact with the locals."
