Frammenti Exhibition

A contemporary art collective in the heart of Val Trebbia

Every year, at the beginning of summer, the Auditorium of the Casa del Popolo in Rivergaro transforms into an exhibition space thanks to the Arte e Nuovi Dialoghi group. For the 2026 edition, the chosen theme is Fragments: a word that becomes the common thread of a collective exhibition capable of bringing fourteen different sensibilities into dialogue. The exhibition is held in Rivergaro, a municipality in the Province of Piacenza overlooking the Trebbia river, and is now one of the most anticipated events on the local cultural calendar.

The Arte e Nuovi Dialoghi Group

Founded in Rivergaro in 2016, the group brings together artists from the Piacenza area united by the idea of art as individual expression that grows through mutual comparison. Their research prioritizes the material dimension and the link between emotion and image. Each year, the collective builds a thematic exhibition: after titles such as Light, Earth, Chronos, Synergies, and, in 2025, Weaves, the 2026 event focuses on the idea of fragment, understood as a shard of memory, broken and recomposed material, a detail that reveals the whole.

What to expect

• A collective exhibition of fourteen artists with contemporary art works, often with a strong material component
• Exhibition set up in the Auditorium della Casa del Popolo at via Don Veneziani 64
• Free admission for the entire duration of the exhibition
• The presence of the artists during opening hours, for direct contact with the public

Rivergaro and Val Trebbia

Visiting the exhibition is also an opportunity to discover Rivergaro and the Val Trebbia, one of the most evocative valleys in Emilia-Romagna, already loved by Hemingway. The village, with its riverside promenade and squares, accompanies the exhibition experience with the tranquility of a provincial town that makes art and culture a moment of community.
