About Scorci di Crocefieschi
Open-air art
The 'Scorci di Crocefieschi' Open-Air Painting Competition is an event dedicated to live art that enlivens Crocefieschi, a village in the upper Valle Scrivia within the Metropolitan City of Genoa. Open-air painting is a creative challenge: artists create their works on-site, throughout the day, drawing inspiration directly from the surrounding environment.
The village as the subject
The village itself is the protagonist of the competition, with its alleys, small squares, stone architecture, and the panoramas of the Ligurian Apennines. Painters set up throughout the streets of Crocefieschi and capture the most characteristic views on canvas, transforming the village into a large open-air studio. Afterwards, the works are exhibited and judged by a jury.
A celebration for the community
Organized by the Pro Loco of Crocefieschi and included among the Autentici Liguri events, the competition is also an occasion for celebration for the community and visitors, who can watch the artists at work and discover a little-known corner of the Genoese hinterland. An event that combines art, landscape, and the promotion of the Valle Scrivia territory.
