Arte Fiera, the most awaited modern and contemporary art fair in Italy, will run in Bologna from the 24th to the 28th of January under the motto of investing in culture. In its twenty sixth edition, this year the Bolognese event will host 250 galleries (35 from abroad), distributed in the four pavilions – three of which are dedicated to contemporary art. Arte Fiera has become a must for private collectors – particularly for those who love Italian Twentieth century art – and this year it aims to become a reference point for corporate collecting as well. ImpresArte groups together a series of initiatives aimed at businesses. To be noted among the main events is the debate “Collecting art: a successful enterprise” (25th of January, 10.30-11.30 a.m.). Among the participants are: Andrea Illy (managing director of Illycaffè), Gualtiero Masini (president of Gruppo Teseco) and Paolo Targetti (President of Targetti Sankey). (Elena Balzani)
