Beautiful Things Festival

From 25 to 27 October 2024, the Museum of the Brettii and Enotri in Cosenza will host the 8th edition of the Beautiful Things Festival, an event celebrating creativity, illustration and design, this year inspired by the theme of Lightness, a tribute to Italo Calvino.

The programme offers a variety of engaging and creative activities: two illustration exhibitions, including Leggerezza and Calabria Illustrata, curated by artist Luca Grassi, and four creative tables that will allow participants to experiment with calligraphy, intaglio, fabric painting and artistic linoleum printing. There will also be workshops for children, digital live painting, a market dedicated to independent productions and a musical reading in homage to Calvino.

For those who love good food, there will also be three appointments of Aperi-bello, moments to taste local delicacies and live an experience that combines art and gastronomy.
