Paratissima

Paratissima Turin 2026 affirms itself as one of the most influential festivals in contemporary Italian art. Part of the prestigious Turin Art Week (30 October - 1 November 2026), the event transforms the Real Collegio Carlo Alberto in Moncalieri into an outstanding exhibition platform, hosting over 200 artists from Italy and abroad. This edition presents an ambitious and articulate programme: more than 50 exhibitions and curatorial projects occupy the historic spaces of the Real Collegio, from monumental halls to internal cloisters, creating an immersive journey that combines emerging art and experimental research. Interactive installations and live performances turn Renaissance environments into living laboratories where contemporary creativity engages directly with the public, generating over 40,000 expected visitors. The event represents a strategic meeting point between artists, independent curators, galleries, collectors and art enthusiasts, where the most innovative artistic languages find space for expression and critical dialogue. The classical architecture of the Real Collegio—with its courtyards, frescoed halls and underground spaces—creates a fascinating and stimulating contrast with contemporary media installations, from video art to digital sculpture, from immersive works to site-specific projects created specifically for this edition. Paratissima 2026 is an essential stop for understanding current trends in Italian contemporary art and discovering emerging talents that will shape the cultural landscape in the years to come.
