En Plein Air Painting Competition

The En Plein Air Painting Competition was born in 2026 as its absolute first edition: in 2025, the competition had not yet been established. That summer, however, the same San Vincenzino Archaeological Park in Cecina was already the heart of the R-estate UNITRE festival (July 1 - August 31, 2025), promoted by UNITRE Cecina with jazz and classical music concerts, theatrical recitals, poetry readings, and cultural meetings.

From that lively season of events in the park, the new painting competition was launched, designed to bring visual arts among the remains of the Roman villa and the olive trees of the archaeological site.
