An exhibition featuring original artworks by 13 emerging artists will coincide with ArteFiera 2026. In this occasion Cinquerosso Arte will unveil its new headquarters at Via Farini 9, on the first floor of Palazzo Guidotti in Bologna.
Francesca, what’s going on at Cinquerosso?
We are experiencing a very important moment of transition: we are leaving the historic Cinquerosso studio at Via Remorsella 5 and moving into a new space, which will become our new home. This is not just a change of address—it’s a natural evolution of who we are today, allowing us to give even more room to creativity.
After more than twenty years in the communication sector, Cinquerosso Arte was born in 2022, and today we are delving even deeper into the world of art and interior design. We will continue developing communication projects, but increasingly in dialogue with creatives and designers, riding the wave of Cinquerosso Arte’s success.
The idea is to create an autentic “home”: a welcoming, lived-in space that fosters synergy between different forms of expression.
In the new premises, we aim to involve not only our artists but also emerging designers, artisans, and selected companies. Presenting to architecture studios and private clients furniture, innovative materials, and, of course, artworks that can complete and enrich their projects.
A model still uncommon in Bologna
Exactly. Here, everything is still very fragmented: art in galleries, design in showrooms, accessories in specialty stores. We want to offer a different, integrated experience, where art and design coexist in a single environment.
The new space is perfectly suited for this purpose: we will be at Via Farini 9, on the first floor of Palazzo Guidotti, right across from the prestigious Galleria Cavour. It is a more intimate space than our previous location, a true gem: large windows overlooking the city, frescoed ceilings, Palladian-style floors… A classic and elegant setting that harmoniously interacts with contemporary art and design.
What will the exhibition be like?
It’s important to note that this is not an official opening—that will take place later, probably in the summer. This exhibition is more of a preview, organized on the occasion of ArteFiera 2026, on Saturday, February 7th, from 5 to 10 pm, and it will be accessible by personal invitation only.
For those who wish to attend, starting Monday, February 9th, the exhibition can be visited by sending a request via email to: info@cinquerossoarte.com.
It will be an opportunity to admire the artworks of our artists in person—and to purchase them as well.
The exhibited artists include: Giuseppe Barilaro, Luca Brandi, Letizia Carattini, Giulia Gray, Filippo Manfroni, Rosalba Mangione, Andrea Marchesini, Enrico Pelissero, Mattia Perru, Chiara Sgarzi, Polina Stepanova, Sonia Strukul and Francesco Zurlini.
The exhibition design adopts a very essential approach, articulated through light and artworks presented on the walls. This choice aims to direct the viewer’s attention entirely toward the artworks, allowing each practice to emerge with clarity and autonomy.
The artworks will remain in the space beyond the exhibition period, becoming an integral part of the new venue and informing future curatorial projects and initiatives.
Would you say this exhibition marks a new beginning?
Absolutely. This is the first in a long series of events, thematic exhibitions, and curated projects that we will carry out over time, always with a focus on the interior design and hospitality sectors in particular.
Our new home will become increasingly vibrant and welcoming!
