"Contemporary Latitudes," says curator Art Critic Roberto Sottile, "is a topical reflection on the capacity of artistic languages that as languages become universal thanks to art's ability to immediately succeed in communicating. The selected works have this characterization," Sottile continued, "on the one hand they preserve the identity of their memory and history, and on the other, this memory as contemporary becomes current, so current and strong that it becomes everyone's.

An exhibition that becomes a journey between cultures that through art come together. The exhibition, in fact,-as stated by the other Curator of the Exhibition Pengpeng Wang-proposes an articulated and valuable journey capable of bringing together works by some of the great Italian masters of the 20th century in relation to the contemporary creations of 24 artists from China made with different techniques: drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs, and digital art. Art proposes through its gaze, Contemporary Latitudes able to question without forgetting the memory of the 20th century."

In addition to the curators, the mayor of the city of Rende Marcello Manna and Councillor for Culture Marta Petrusewicz will speak at the opening night.  The exhibition will be open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 4 p.m.-8 p.m. with free admission.
