Starting from 2011, the dynamic quality of the Donkey Invasion has led to an increase in cultural activity, realizing the planned planning of site-specific permanent works. Every year several artists are selected in order to create urban installations peculiar to the territory and in line with the general principles of the macro cultural project.
In 5 years the town has been transformed into an open-air museum, in which the works are active nuclei, experienced daily by the entire community.
Two intrinsic qualities exist in the project which play through subtle and dynamic balances. One of these realities is related to the territory: they are the popular stories, traditions, people, tales and intangible magic that surrounds the country. The other is the cultural value: the promotion of young artists, the creation of ideas, the search for new poetic languages.
