This year we celebrate the 225th anniversary of the birth of the Italian flag and for this anniversary a great cultural event has been organized that will involve most of the city of Varese.

Varese as a large "open-air art gallery": the program includes the participation of 225 artists from all over Italy who will create works of art using the three colors of the Italian flag. The artists' works will be exhibited in all spaces that will become available in the city, from shop windows to art galleries that have enthusiastically joined the initiative.

During the exhibition period of the works from 15 October to 12 November, a series of related events are planned
