On Friday 12 June 2026, at 6.00 pm, the historic Palazzo del Capitano in Bagno di Romagna will host the lecture and the opening reception (7.00–9.00 pm) for "Piantar Pagina" - Tales of plants, paper and transformation, the free exhibition marking the start of the artistic direction of Bagno d’Arte - Progetto UPupe (2026–2029), curated by Deborah Mosconi and Elena Roccaro.
Open until 12 July (Tuesdays 5pm–10pm; Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10 am–1 pm and 3 pm–7 pm), the exhibition combines Benedetta Sani’s multimedia research with Giovanni Colaneri’s Fauvist illustrations to offer, during Environment Month, an ecological perspective centred on cooperation and relationships.
Using the page as an active space and plants as an operational model, the exhibition reflects on the thinking of botanist Stefano Mancuso, opposing the extractive and consumerist view of nature.
The programme also includes two free workshops (booking required): a cut-out animation workshop with Sani on 13 June (3–6 pm) and a drawing workshop for children on 11 July (4–7 pm), combined with a presentation of Colaneri’s books and a kamishibai reading by Talee.
