INCONTEMPORANEOUS 2026
Saturday 28 February to Sunday 29 March - Vinaia del Sapere

The Verginese delizia Estense opens the INCONTEMPORANEA 2026 Emilia Romagna kermesse on 28 February at 4 p.m. with two collective exhibitions, "Verginese - Portomaggiore" and "Passato e presente", two personal exhibitions "Arte e ambiente in dialogo" and "Personaggi del passato" by Antibrote Florence Brandalesi and Fabiana Toffano respectively, a performance by Roberto Bellucci and a consolidated group of artists, relatives and friends of writer Silvia Landi.

The event includes the participation of artists from numerous Italian cities: Antibrote Florence Brandalesi (Ferrara), Bellucci Roberto (Naples), Beltrami Alessandro (Omegna - Verbano - Cusio - Ossola), Evangelisti Carlo (Venice, Ganzaroli Maurizio (Ferrara), Lorenzin Arianna (Venice), Marchese Rocchina in art Roky (Castelluccio Valmaggiore - Foggia), Mascia Giovanni (Calasetta - Carbonia), Mozzi Giacomo (Viareggio - Lucca), Rondinelli Alessandra (Omegna - Verbano - Cusio - Ossola), SIL.MAT (Monza), Toffano Fabiana (Venice) and Zamperlin Sara (Legnano - Verona).

A book is planned for the exhibition "Passato e presente" (Past and present) that collects the works of the participants with a review by the curator and writer Silvia Landi; a second book is dedicated to the collective exhibition "Verginese - Portomaggiore" that collects, in addition to the works of the participants with their reviews, the text dedicated to Portomaggiore and the Verginese Este delizia edited by the writer Silvia Landi who dedicated the places in Ferrara, where she stayed during the summer periods, to her childhood.

Florence Antibrote Brandalesi's solo exhibition - Art and Environment in Dialogue includes a publication with texts by genealogist Fabio Messina and writer Silvia Landi, who curated the artist's book and exhibition. An original exhibition design highlighted the path and expressiveness of Antibrote's creations through an exhibition of twelve previously unpublished works of art.

Fabiana Toffano's solo exhibition, Personaggi consists of thirteen canvases created by the artist between 2024 and 2025. The titles of the works reflect a vision of characters from the past represented in the landscape of the city of Venice where the artist lives.

The exhibition halls open at 9:00 a.m. with a performance by the artist Roberto Bellucci, engaged for the entire day in creating a work of art. This is an opportunity for the public to experience the reaction of the work as the artist seems enraptured in his mind in the creation.
