About Maestri della Spatola

In the first days of August, Montenero di Bisaccia, in the province of Campobasso, hosts the International Art Exhibition of Spatula Masters: a painting exhibition featuring the particular spatula technique that brings together artists from various nations. The event takes place concurrently with the Night in the Ancient Village and is part of the Montenerese Summer programme, animating the streets and squares of the historic centre.

The Spatula Masters in Montenero di Bisaccia

Among the cultural events of the summer in Montenero di Bisaccia, in the province of Campobasso, the International Art Exhibition of Spatula Masters stands out: an exhibition dedicated to painting created with the spatula technique, which gives the canvases a characteristic textured and three-dimensional effect.

Artists from all over the world

The exhibition brings together artists from various nations, who display their works in the Borgo Antico (ancient village) of the town. The exhibition takes place in the first days of August, concurrently with the Notte nel Borgo Antico (Night in the Ancient Village), when the historic centre comes alive with lights, music, and visitors.

Part of the Montenerese Summer

The exhibition is part of the rich programme of the Estate Montenerese (Montenerese Summer), the season of events that enlivens the town from July to September. An opportunity to combine the discovery of the medieval village with the appreciation of contemporary art, in a picturesque setting overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
