The festival of the Contemporary art is part of a wider project that we started with a strong belief, namely that culture is the most important tool for the development and innovation of our territory. We aim to offer a widespread cultural structure to young people in particular, for experimentation and creativity. Thus in 2009, the European year of creativity, the second edition of the festival of the Contemporary art will once again offer a great opportunity for all of us to look to the future.
Claudio Casadio, Mayor of Faenza
The success of the first edition of the festival of the Contemporary art was due to a large variety of factors. Besides the fact that it is the only event of its kind worldwide, its strength is based on wide participation, which has brought all of the protagonists of contemporary art together, as well as the general public and many, many young people. This participation has continued ever since and has become a crucial factor in supporting the growth of the project and its international diffusion. We have met and spoken to many different people, with whom we share a passion for all things contemporary. This passion has encouraged the efforts of goodwill in planning and organizing new outlets for culture and creativity. We are pleased to introduce the second edition of the festival of the Contemporary art, together with the staff of goodwill and everyone who has worked with us to make this project possible.
Alberto Masacci and Pier Luigi Sacco,
Founders of the Festival of the Contemporary art
