Large attendance on Thursday 15 January at the exhibition presentation event I fell in love, an exhibition project marking a new and significant dialogue between contemporary art and one of the symbolic places of everyday commercial life.
The meeting represented an official moment of opening and sharing the cultural project, which takes art out of its traditional contexts to meet the public in an unexpected space, making the aesthetic experience accessible, direct and deeply emotional.
At the opening of the event, those present were welcomed by introducing the content and significance of the exhibition, emphasising its symbolic and cultural value within Oriocenter.
During the presentation, Director Ruggero Pizzagalli thanked all the institutions present, His Excellency the Prefect of Bergamo, the Questore of Bergamo, the Commander of the Carabinieri of Bergamo and the Commander of the Guardia di Finanza of Bergamo.
He then thanked the entities sponsoring the exhibition - the Province of Bergamo, the Municipality of Orio al Serio and the Municipality of Azzano San Paolo -, the media partner Eco di Bergamo, and all the people who collaborated in its realisation.
The Mayors of Orio al Serio, Azzano San Paolo and Grassobbio brought their institutional greetings, followed by the speech of the Director of the GAMeC - Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo, Lorenzo Giusti, who emphasised the value of the initiative in the cultural panorama of the area.
The heart of the meeting was the dialogue between curator Dr Valentina Raimondo and collector Giacomo Torriani, who told the audience about the genesis and structure of the exhibition.
The exhibition, which covers two floors and 2000 square metres, can be visited free of charge every day until 31 March 2026, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
