Porto, the European Capital of Culture in 2001, does not disappoint those who visit it. The cultural offers are wide and diverse, the result of an increasingly strong artistic dynamic. Young talents and creators have emerged in recent years and have contributed to the affirmation of a Porto of the arts.
ROSA ET AL Townhouse shares this spirit since the early days and has taken an active role in promoting young talents side by side with know local, and international artists. ROSA ET AL Townhouse Exhibitions are our contribution to the enrichment of the city's artistic panorama. The private suites and the common spaces of the Townhouse are transformed into a galleryin its own right.For more information on current and past exhibitions, please contact our Front Office.

Leaning against the magnificent plateau of the Julian Alps, Kranj would never be a primary goal of study, a priority. It was always just a place of passage, a border in between no-man's lands, which does not meet Slovenia's natural beauty standards. This is Kranj, an industrial city in the outskirts, wedged between Ljubljana's decision centers and the perfect tourist ‘postcard’ reality of lake Bled, where people do not exist as a reality to portray.

After a few years in Milan, New York City and Berlin, Trovato recently returned to discover Sicily, where she was born and grew up, and where Gela's petrochemical chimneys continue to be seen from the window of her nursery.
