The show

The exhibition Rive / Piere / Casère e il popolo delle colline , curated by Miro Graziotin , with photographs by Arcangelo Piai and Corrado Piccoli , organized in collaboration with the Benetton Foundation, is now open in the Bomben spaces.

In the exhibition and in the book of the same name (Antiga Edizioni), the result of five years of "journey" and work, «Arcangelo Piai and Corrado Piccoli tell, with the peaceful and creative force of light», explains Miro Graziotin, «the sunset, definitive?, of a culture daughter of a civilization which, given up for dead, nevertheless shows in the hilly fragments an inexhaustible vitality bordering on resistance.


Walking through these rugged expanses accompanied by the pertication of Carlo Rubini and the accomplice census of Daniele Ferrazza, one perceives the heartbeats of this land which, like its people, is restless and on the move.

And in this Valdobbiadene the traveler encounters them in the hillocks, on the ridges, on the plains… everywhere casèi and casère; silent buildings that exude history, in the solitary posture of abandonment; in those second homes lives were consumed between the Banks and the vineyards in the Prosecco lands. Once through those doors, we are met with the waste of a civilization that we habitually define as peasant; but what transpires from the shadows are the simulacra of a civilization without adjectives, forged by an industrious and resistant humanity in the secular flow of toil and trades».


In the frescoed rooms of the Bomben spaces, about seventy photographs will be on display, in an exhibition itinerary divided into three sections, "Places, things and a little men", each of which focuses the gaze on one of the three aspects at the center of the investigation: the geographies of a small part of the Prosecco Hills area, the structures (casèi and casère) that dot it and have helped to shape it, the women and men who still inhabit it, live it and take care of it .

A video on display will give voice to the people of the hills, to some of those who have chosen to stay, or to return, «not to solicit nostalgic delay, but to describe the discreet pride of those who nurture a future with the effort and passion that only the earth can demand with unusual intensity».
