FESTIVAL URBINOINACQUERELLO 2023

Duke Federico da Montefeltro, an expert in art, literature, mathematics and architecture, promoted a rational humanism based on the belief that the whole visible world can be traced back to the laws of mathematics and geometry; that's why he surrounds himself with illustrious mathematicians and artists to achieve high quality painting based on perspective and on the balance of artistic perfection.


Each work can be a gift to spread the emotions, optimism, sustainability, simplicity, necessary for a rethinking of humanity.

The UrbinoInAcquerello Association believes that if we had the courage to really listen to the artists, we would avoid many of the tensions and crises that our planet has been experiencing for years, which is why it wants to create a communication strategy through storytelling and digital innovation.

The aims are to create a WUNDERKAMMER exhibition or the “Chamber of Wonders” and to create a high-quality catalog. The Festival will take place in May 2023
