Valeria Vacchi: Un Tributo all'Arte e alla Creatività

From May 2nd to 8th, 2025, the Church of the Holy Spirit in Ostuni will host an exhibition dedicated to **Valeria Vacchi**, who passed away on December 13th, 2023. The event, organized by "Espressioni d'Arte," aims to pay tribute to a prominent figure in the Italian art scene, known for her innovative approach to set design and informal painting.

Born on April 16th, 1948, Valeria left her mark on her era with works that challenged artistic conventions. She was part of the "Bologna Set Design Collective," which included illustrious names such as *Enrico Manelli, Enrico Mulazzani, Leonardo Scarpa, Gabriella Pallucco, Giancarlo Basili, Augusta Ticchiati, and Elio Celone*. Together, they contributed to revolutionizing the concept of set design, transforming theatrical spaces into immersive and visually extraordinary experiences.

Valeria Vacchi was not only a set designer but also a highly talented painter. Her painting method evolved towards immateriality, leading to results that evoke deep emotions yet elude rationality. As a student of Vasco Bendini, she learned from traditional masters, reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens capable of attracting and engaging audiences of all kinds.

The exhibition at the Church of the Holy Spirit will be an opportunity to rediscover her creative journey and her works, which testify to her immense talent and dedication to art. Through this exhibition, "Espressioni d'Arte" celebrates the memory of Valeria Vacchi, reminding us how her vision can still inspire future generations of artists. Don't miss this unique event, a tribute that promises to touch the heart and soul of anyone who attends.
