"Arte all'Arte" Arte - Architettura - Paesaggio                                               

Every year "Arte all'Arte" invites six international artists from six different countries to devise a specific project for the six councils involved. The artists spend some time in the towns and then each one produces a site-specific work in a public space.
Arte all'Arte is a "glocal" project that tries to establish a new balance between city and country and to create new ties between Art, Architecture and Landscape, giving back to art a central role in shaping cities and the landscape.
Thanks to Arte all'Arte a concept of an "Artistic Agro-Environmental District" has been developed with the aim of promoting territory. It's a recognizable circuit, a new way to improve culture and environment, to make the tradition and contemporary sensibility closer to each other. Over the years 21 works by contemporary artists have become permanent in public spaces increasing the artistic heritage of the cities.
The Arte all'Arte circuit makes up a contemporary art itinerary in the province of Siena. The itinerary winds its way around the province and includes works by internationally celebrated artists; these works also became an important part of the area's cultural heritage.
