RipattoniArte 2025: "The Artist and Space"

The 19th edition of RipattoniArte was held from July 19 to 27, 2025, in the village of Ripattoni, Bellante (Teramo), with the theme "The Artist and Space": space understood as a natural, urban, inner, and digital place to inhabit, transform, and listen to. Over fifty artists exhibited installations, paintings, sculptures, and works designed to interact with the village's architecture.

Among the protagonists were names such as Alessandro D'Aquila, Edoardo Ettorre, Carmine Di Giandomenico, and numerous collectives. The program combined visual arts, theatrical and circus performances ("Tienimi che ti tengo", "Il Circo Palacinca"), evening concerts of blues, pop, electronic music, and singer-songwriter sets at the Circolo Pro Loco, and afternoon workshops for children. The edition also saw the restoration and reopening of the historic public fountain of Ripattoni. The event, promoted by Pro Loco Ripattoni and BellantArte with the patronage of the Municipality of Bellante and the support of the Abruzzo Region and the Province of Teramo, confirmed Ripattoni as an open-air museum of the Teramo region.
