FabrianoInAcquarello

FabrianoInAcquarello è il convegno internazionale di pittura ad acqua su carta che si svolge a Fabriano, la città marchigiana che ha dato i natali alla carta in occidente. La convention si svolge dal 2010, quando la prima edizione fu organizzata in modo sperimentale con una elite di artisti nazionali. FabrianoInAcquarello si è successivamente esponenzialmente sviluppata tanto da essere ormai ai vertici dell’attenzione internazionale nel settore della pittura ad acqua su carta, divenendo importante focus di confronto di tutte le comunità internazionali. https://www.inartefabriano.it

Fabriano, medieval center

The city square Piazza del Comune, is the political and cultural centre of the city since its origins and it boasts the Sturinalto fountain (1285), a veritable jewel set in admirable surroundings. Behind the fountain, there is the Podestà Palace (1255), defined as one of the prime examples of gothic style in the Marches. On the north appears the Vescovile Palace: once the ancient residence of the city’s Priors. www.fabrianoturismo.it

Paper and Watermark Museum

The Paper and Watermark Museum permits to the tourists to be projected on XIV° and XV° century and to live again the magic of that time. Towards the end of the 1200′s the craftsmen active in Fabriano were in the habit of countersigning their production with watermarks. Today watermarks represent an important testimony to the perfection obtained by the Fabriano paper mills in this sector, in particular for the production of value paper.
