MarateArte - The Exhibition

Alongside the competition entries, visitors will also be able to view a selection of paintings and sculptures produced by the students outside the competition.
The exhibition offers a unique insight into the creativity of young local artists through works exploring themes of beauty, the environment, culture and local identity.
It provides an important opportunity to appreciate the talent, sensitivity and expressive abilities of the students, while highlighting the role of art as a means of personal development and of enhancing and celebrating the local area.

The Christ the Redeemer by Bruno Innocenti
The exhibition presents original drawings, design studies, documents and archival materials related to the creation of the Christ the Redeemer of Maratea, the masterpiece sculpted by Bruno Innocenti.
Visitors will be guided through the artist’s creative process, gaining insight into the historical, artistic and symbolic significance of a monument that has represented the territory and embodied its cultural identity for more than sixty years.
Curator: Prof. Biagio Limongi
Opening Event (Vernissage): 13 August 2026
The exhibition opening will be preceded by the presentation of the book "The Christ the Redeemer by Bruno Innocenti" by Biagio Limongi, at 7:30 pm in Parco Pietra del Sole, Maratea Historic Centre.
The Christ the Redeemer by Bruno Innocenti is a journey through art, history, architecture and spirituality, exploring one of the most iconic monuments in Southern Italy. Through previously unpublished documents, testimonies and extensive historical and artistic research, the book reconstructs the origins and significance of the sculpture created by Bruno Innocenti in 1965. It tells not only the story of a remarkable work of art, but also that of a community that identifies with it. A narrative that invites readers to look beyond the physical structure and appreciate the cultural, symbolic and human value of an extraordinary masterpiece.

The AMO Maratea Manifesto
AMO is a verb.
It is a choice.
It is an act of attention towards what is born fragile and becomes vision.
AMO is an object.
It is the fisherman’s hook: small, patient, as ancient as the sea.
It does not catch fish, but gazes.
It does not hold, it reveals.
AMO is a place.
A workshop that once was a carpentry shop.
Matter that becomes image.
Wood that becomes light.
Silence that becomes story.
Here, art is not merely displayed.
It is crossed.
It is listened to.
It is lived.
Here, matter speaks with light,
image meets sound,
and the viewer enters the artwork
not as a guest, but as a necessary part.
AMO is love for the land.
It is the listening to the sea, the wind, the mountain.
It is respect for what endures.
It is care for what is born.
We are not a gallery.
We are not a museum.
We are a place where things happen.
AMO does not measure value in frames,
but in heartbeats.
You come here to look.
And you leave having learned to see.
Where we are
You can find us at 14 Sospiro Street, in the Historic Center of Maratea, just behind Piazza Buraglia, also called "a chiazza", and near the "Pietra del Sole" Park.
We are open during the summer months, in the evening hours, which may vary depending on the activities we carry out.
We suggest calling in advance to make sure you find us or to arrange a meeting: Tel. +39 347 4060707.
why "Officina"

• officìna
noun (archaic) – any craftsman’s workshop; today, a laboratory or industrial plant where mechanical work is carried out;

Exhibition: THEA MARIS – RETURN TO THE ORIGIN ( until August the 27th 2025)
THEA MARIS – RETURN TO THE ORIGIN
Echoes of the Sea Between Infinity and the Abyss
by Anna Caterina Masotti
A Distributed Exhibition as a Tool of Perception
Curated by Laura Frasca – Art Manager
Exhibition Venues:
Officina Altri Turismi: a former artisan workshop transformed into a contemporary gallery, symbolizing the dialogue between tradition and innovation.
The Churches of Maratea: including the Church of the Immaculate Conception, St. Francis, and Our Lady of Porto Salvo. These sacred spaces enhance the spiritual dimension of the artworks, offering settings for reflection and contemplation.
Palazzo De Lieto: a former 18th-century hospital, now a museum hub. Here, the exhibition’s themes—care, transformation, rebirth—find a natural resonance. In these contexts, the artworks engage in a profound dialogue with the history and memory of the places.
Thea Maris is not just an exhibition, but a sensory and intellectual experience that invites reflection on the inseparable bond between nature and humanity.
