A DIVE INTO ART
Picture-gallery and decoration space
This artistic laboratory makes an alternative approach to children in art. The point of departure is the pictorial series “Jerusalem Delivered”
of Paul Finoglio, displayed in the Picture-gallery of the Castle. Wearing the cloths of the painter as projected in the era of the Counts of
Acquaviva of Aragon, the children, with brushes, cloths and colors, give life to their expressive imagination, transforming themselves from
visitors to protagonists, and from viewers to artists. Recommended participants: All ages. Duration: 3 - 4 hours.
