Opening on Friday, May 30 at 12:00 PM, the exhibition Itinerario di un sogno (Itinerary of a Dream) will be on view at the Urban Center and Foyer EduLab of Centro Pecci. The exhibition is the result of the Expressive Art Lab, organized by Centro Pecci in collaboration with the Adult Mental Health Service of the USL Health Authority – Tuscany Center. Active since 1993, the Workshop aims to broaden opportunities for expression and communication beyond traditional psychiatric settings, fostering social inclusion.
The exhibition Itinerario di un sogno (Itinerary of a Dream) presents, in the Foyer EduLab area, a selection of works by active participants in the Workshop and pays tribute to two individuals who took part in the program since its early years: Massimo Giagnoni (1949–2024) and Patrizia Mazzantini (1961–2024), to whom a retrospective is dedicated in the Urban Center space.
Each participant actively contributed to the creation of the exhibition, from the selection of the works to the setup of the spaces. The title Itinerario di un sogno (Itinerary of a Dream) was chosen by the artists themselves to reflect the artistic process behind the works on display—pieces created in recent years during the activities of the Expressive Activities Workshop.
Exhibiting artists: Davide Apostolico, Marco Baldi, Maria Canelli, Elisabetta Carleo, Francesco Ciullini, Luca Conti, Roberto Francini, Massimo Giagnoni, Martina, Patrizia Mazzantini, Luciano Righi, Consuelo Rossi, Irene Tortelli.
The Expressive Arts Lab is coordinated by the Education Department of Centro Pecci together with the Mental Health Service, and are led by art therapists in collaboration with the EDA Servizi cooperative.
