Nuove Generazioni – 2nd ed. – Udine: stories of markets,merchants and artisans 

Guided tour (in Italian)

On Sunday 17 May at 10.00 am and 12.00 pm, a guided tour entitled “Udine, Arts and Crafts” will take place as part of the Nuove Generazioni – 2nd Edition project. The guided tour of Udine’s historic centre will begin at the Loggia del Lionello in Udine.

THE PROJECT

The “Nuove Generazioni” project promotes the convergence of culture and the business world. In particular, the first edition of the project saw the creation of an exhibition by the young AI artist Giacomo Urban. The artist visited four companies in our region, drawing inspiration from them to create works of art that were displayed in an exhibition at the Fondazione Friuli in Udine. In this second edition, Urban was joined by two other young artists from Friuli Venezia Giulia. The three creatives were tasked with revitalising two commercial premises in Udine’s historic centre by creating ‘Artist’s Shop Windows’. Each artist created a work of art in their own artistic style, decorating the windows of the vacant shops. The theme given to the artists was to imagine what these commercial spaces might look like through the language of creativity. This initiative served a dual purpose: promoting three emerging artists from the region, who had the opportunity to showcase their art in the city centre; and promoting the vacant shops, which, when viewed from this perspective, might prove more attractive to potential buyers.
