Audaus OffLine

Audaus OffLine 2025 in Tricase

The Salento edition was held on August 29 and 30, 2025, from 8:00 PM to midnight, at the Scuderie di Palazzo Gallone, in Piazza Pisanelli in Tricase (Lecce). Curated by Audaus Design & Hospitality and conceived by Silvio Ippati, with coordination by Elena Emi Gilardi and Fabiola Zielli, the event invited the public to leave their smartphones at the entrance to experience art without distractions.

The journey alternated between the exhibition of Ippati's pen-on-wood works — including L'uomo e la biosfera and the portrait of Helen Mirren as Elizabeth I — and participatory moments: live drawing sessions, drawing on wood, Polaroid keepsakes, and tastings. The artist Marco Luigi De Medici also debuted in the project, with an intervention blending art, words, and manual gestures. A public success that confirmed the strength of the "offline" concept even outside of large cities.
