Sanseverino Young Art: great success for the second edition

Sanseverino Young Art, second edition, has transformed Mercato Sanseverino into a nerve center of the figurative and musical arts. The festival, this year, has welcomed talents from seven Italian regions in addition to Campania, namely Lombardy, Puglia, Lazio, Marche, Tuscany, Emilia Romagna and Trentino Alto Adige.

Thanks to the collaboration with the Sabatini-Menna art school of Salerno and the Francesco Terrone Foundation of Ripacandida and Ginestra, the event saw the participation of numerous young artists and musicians who animated the Palazzo Vanvitelliano and other locations in the municipality.

An Important Event for the Campania Artistic Scene

The Mayor of Mercato San Severino, Antonio Somma, declared: “Sanseverino Young Art represents a fundamental moment for our community…” The festival, made possible thanks to the contribution of the Campania Region and other important cultural institutions, has established itself as one of the main regional artistic events, with the patronage of Rai Campania, the Ministry of Culture and various conservatories and academies. The final evening, hosted by Milena Miconi at the Teatro Comunale di Mercato Sanseverino, was the culmination of six days of exhibitions, workshops and live performances.

Awards for Young Talents in the Arts and Music

A moment of great importance was the award ceremony for the participants, evaluated by a jury composed of illustrious figures in the Italian artistic and musical scene. Prestigious, in fact, was the presence of artists such as Rosaria Iazzetta, Marco Alfano and Paolo Bini for the art section, and luminaries such as Vincenzo Corrado, Nicola Hansalik Samale and Tiziano Citro for the music section. In addition, the festival benefited from the support of a network of local businesses, underlining the importance of creating synergies between culture and territory. School principals Rossella De Luca, Luigia Trivisonde, Laura Teodosio and Anna Buonoconto played a key role in the growth of this event, while the work of artist and photographer Luigi Giordano immortalized the highlights of this extraordinary edition. Images of sculptures and a variety of artistic installations were exhibited in the cloister of Palazzo Vanvitelliano, highlighting the emerging talent of the young participants; looking to the future, councilor Vincenza Cavaliere hopes that “Sanseverino Young Art” will become a regular event for all those who believe in the transformative power of art.
