Twenty-four artists interpret the city from original points of view, which investigate the different metropolitan aspects, areas and places seen from different perspectives.

The exhibition La città che sale: Visioni metropolitane d’arte contemporanea/The city that rises: Metropolitan visions of contemporary art opens in the expository space of Sant’Agostino in the upper Bergamo on 21 October. The event is promoted by the association for culture SINAPSI in cooperation with the Rotary Club of Romano di Lombardia and the Patronage of the Council and the Province of Bergamo – Culture Department.
The city is the recurring theme of the exhibition curated by Stefano Raimondi; a city that, in fact, “rises” in urban landscapes, symbol of the contemporary society. Streets, stations, buildings, glimpses and views, people, objects, trees and flowers are reinterpreted in the works of the artists on display, where different languages, influenced and that influence, are gathered: from painting to the video, from sculpture to photography up to works in computer graphics.
