Umberto Grati – Spin Off

The 2025 edition of the tribute to Umberto Grati took the form of a widespread exhibition titled «Il tratto sensibile», set up from November 8 to December 7, 2025, in six locations in the historic center of Ancona. The route started from the multifunctional center Spazio Presente on Via Buoncompagno and continued through workshops and artisan shops — from Spazio Eventi Popolare to Galleria Papier, from Legatoria Librare to Atelier del Faro — up to the artist's studio on Via Fanti, left as he had abandoned it.

With about a hundred works and over five thousand visitors, accompanied by guided tours and numerous collateral events organized with local associations, the exhibition confirmed the city's affection for «Umb». This success led to the «Spin Off» format hosted at the Podesti Art Gallery. The exhibition was curated by Bruno Di Marino, with artistic direction by Simona Lisi and organization by the Associazione Culturale Ventottozerosei.
