The proposals presented are unusual, bold and varied. Participation and dynamism are encouraged through the presentation of exhibitions, events and cultural events, in celebration of the importance of art and its history.<\/p>\n\n<p>Rossetti Arte Contemporanea is an exhibition point but not only; it is a point of reference as well as a cultural aggregation, of inspiration, meeting and confrontation also thanks to the conferences that are periodically held within it and that stimulate dialogue and the birth of new ideas.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is precisely in the increasingly topical perspective of a renewed cultural hub in the historic center, exactly in this magical place, that Rossetti Arte Contemporanea fits in, established as a place of inspiration for innovative proposals in which artistic design and interior architecture combine to enhance the personality of the patrons, with a view to a final elegant fusion between each work and its spatial destiny.&#13;\nThe gallery draws its strength from the previous experience of the Rinascimento Contemporaneo gallery founded in Boccadasse in 2010.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past few weeks, the work \u201cComedian,\u201d better known as \u201cCattelan&#8217;s Banana,\u201d has been making the world talk.
