What is Paratissima?
It looks like FuoriSalone, but less business, less booze, but leaves its mark…

Paratissima is an artistic event in San Salvario in Turin, from 2nd to 6th November, realized outside of the institutional  contemporary art scene. Paratissima takes place every November in the popular neighbourhood  of  San Salvario, in Turin, where spaces such as shops, unfurnished properties, streets and buildings are used to show the works of young artists. But Paratissima is not only this: The event is not just an art exhibition, but is a communal celebration or party which involves music and special events, thus creating an alternative possibility and environment to meet.

So, a whole neighbourhood in Turin will be twisted with music, art, theatre plays and other shows for the whole week. free and open to everyone with no need for a badge or other vip stuff. We’ll be there as a tech support for the Paratissima staff but mostly as happy guests on saturday 5^th night.
