F A V A R A
The Seven Courtyards are a kind of Sicilian Casbah. Seven small courtyards linked together are home to a series of small buildings and hide an Arabic array of small but wonderful gardens. In this suggestive context, the cultural and recreational spaces neighbor the aunts' houses. Antonia, Rosa and Maria are three of the aunts who live in the Seven Courtyards along with Vito and a few other residents.

A stately owned noble palace abandoned for 25 years has been transformed into a surprising place of art, culture, education and research. The first floor houses exhibitions and installations, the second floor a Magazine Library and an stage space and the third floor a laboratory space with kitchen and roof top. Close to this building is the beautiful The Embassy of Farm, an ancient noble palace used for cultural diplomacy activities.

What does it mean to narrate a city? A smell, a colour, a square, a historical wound, a daily ritual. From Tokyo to Lagos, from Naples to Buenos Aires, every city is a manifold of signs, cultures, architectures, tensions and identities. Like a contemporary Wunderkammer, Curio-cities: 49 cities x 49 drawers is a container that collects and protects urban stories made of matter, memory and form. Each drawer is like a display case, a box, an archive: relics, symbols, scraps, miniatures, impressions and images that give back a fragment, a detail, the soul of cities as in a disorderly but fascinating atlas. A mobile-museum of contemporaneity made of editions, ready to be touched, bought, collected.
