SUMMARY:Araprite 'e Purtune: Living Nativity Scene 2025 – The itinerary in the historic center of Sorrento
DESCRIPTION:With “Araprite ‘e purtune\, ce sta O’ presepio” the living nativity scene returns to Sorrento\, which proposes a new cultural project that enhances the Neapolitan tradition of the eighteenth century through a journey through the ancient doors of the historic center\, from 28 to 30 December. \nAraprite ‘e Purtune: the living nativity scene in Sorrento\nThe 2025 edition represents a significant evolution: the nativity scene leaves its usual location\, the gardens of the Vescovato\, to dialogue directly with the city\, returning to the public the narrative and symbolic power of one of the most representative artistic expressions of Campania culture.

SUMMARY:Resistenze Creative: exhibition at Villa Fiorentino
DESCRIPTION:The Sorrento Foundation presents {R}Esistenze Creative (Resistenze Creative)\, a collective exhibition of painting\, sculpture and photography\, scheduled at Villa Fiorentino from 20 February to 15 March 2026. \nThe exhibition proposes a complex artistic journey\, which focuses on creativity as a form of cultural and contemporary resistance. \n{R}Esistenze Creative: The exhibition project\nResistenze Creative was born as a space for discussion between different artists and languages\, offering a broad and inclusive vision of contemporary art. The works on display interact with each other through themes linked to identity\, memory and transformation. \nVilla Fiorentino in Sorrento confirms itself as a point of reference for the artistic and cultural promotion of the area. The exhibition rooms welcome the public in a historical context that enhances the experience of the visit. \nParticipating artists\nThey exhibit in the exhibition “Creative Resistances”: \n\nJULSIP\nJULIANA MOURA\nRUBEN STAIANO\nTONY CELENTANO\nFRANCESCA D’ESPOSITO\n\nJULSIP\nYoung artist from Sorrento\, Julsip focuses his research on the soul as a dimension free from the material constraints of the body. His work moves towards the dissolution of form\, the elimination of physical contours and limits\, to restore a fluid and immaterial vision of existence. \nThrough signs that expand in space like heartbeats\, his works evoke the conflict between body and spirit\, between matter and infinity. The lines break\, move away\, recompose\, giving shape to an intense reflection on human identity as a soul trapped in the contours. \nParticipation in Resistenze Creative represents an important stage of artistic growth for Julsip\, inserting it into a contemporary dialogue that enhances inner research and visual experimentation. \nJULIANA MOURA\nJuliana Moura\, a self-taught Italian-Brazilian visual artist\, develops a constantly evolving research that crosses painting\, watercolor\, collage\, sculpture and assemblage. From 2022\, his artistic path opens up to new materials and languages\, expanding a poetics deeply linked to spirituality and transcendence. \nHis professional experience in the pharmaceutical sector influences his artistic reflection\, bringing to the center themes such as the body\, existence and the relationship between the visible and the invisible. For Juliana\, abstract art is a divine channel\, a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. \nThe works\, characterized by strong materiality\, dynamic contrasts and multidimensional depth\, become true sensorial portals. Dense textures\, plastic mixtures\, plaster and symbolic references to nature – water\, air\, earth and gold – build a language that invites the viewer to an experience of reconnection with the transcendent. \nRUBEN STAIANO\nBorn in Piano di Sorrento in 1992\, Ruben Staiano developed a strong bond with beauty and the environment around him from a young age. His artistic research ranges from floral motifs to oriental suggestions\, up to installation projects with a strong conceptual impact. \nThrough the use of acrylic pastes\, resins and unconventional materials\, Ruben constructs a vibrant chromatic universe that dialogues with the emotions of the observer. Alongside his pictorial production\, he carries out an ironic and critical reflection on contemporary communication. \nWorks such as “Sit down\, we must talk” or “Did you hear what I hear” question relational dynamics and mutual listening\, while works such as “Vista Ristorata” introduce the theme of rebirth and change of perspective. His art invites you to explore new interior territories\, listening to your most authentic voice. \nTONY CELENTANO\nVisual artist and tattoo artist active since 1999\, Tony Celentano develops a research that comes from realism to evolve towards a profound reflection on space\, matter and gesture. The body is the first place of his investigation: not a decorative surface\, but a living space to cross and transform. \nInspired by the principles of Spatialism and the research of Lucio Fontana\, Celentano overcomes the two-dimensionality of the work\, conceiving it as an open and continually transforming act. The gesture affects the material\, creating symbolic fractures between full and empty\, visible and invisible. \nIn parallel with tattooing\, the artist develops sculptural and multi-material research using metal\, wood\, leather and resins. From this experimentation was born his idea of ​​”fluid art“\, in which color and matter build dynamic trajectories\, transforming the work into an energy field rather than a static object. \nFRANCESCA D’ESPOSITO\nPhotographer originally from Sorrento\, Francesca D’Esposito has been carrying out a visual research for almost ten years that has its roots in her personal history and deep connection with the land. Daughter of farmers\, through photography she tells the story of the dignity of peasant work\, the daily gestures\, the slowness of the seasons. \nAfter training gained through specialist courses and collaborations with local professionals\, Francesca feels the need to turn her lens towards what belongs to her most intimately: the countryside\, the hands that sow and reap\, family memories. \nAlongside documentary photography\, he experiments with light painting\, using light as a narrative tool to enhance matter and emotions. The images on display are an act of love and belonging: a dialogue between past and present\, an invitation to recognize the value of a tradition that continues to live through those who keep it. \nInformation for the public\n\nPeriodo di apertura: 20 febbraio – 15 marzo 2026 \nOrari: Dalle 10:00 – 13:00 e dalle 16:00 – 19:00 \nIngresso: libero
