Project Vision Come to Quarenghi is a proposed summer New Media Arts Festival in Bergamo, Italy. Bergamo is a medium-sized European city, 40 miles north of Milan, with a long historic manufacturing past. It produces most of the textiles that feeds Milan’s fashion industry. Today, it has a significant aging population, with an immigrant community that is doubling every five years. The majority of its immigrants lives on Quarenghi Street, an area at the heart of the city that connects to its commercial district that most locals avoid because of its perceived danger. Quarenghi has a lot of potential to be the cultural hub of the city, due to its prime location.
Project Objectives Come to Quarenghi is a new media cultural arts event designed to: - Better activate and integrate the Quarenghi neighborhood to city life - Create better business opportunities for Quarenghi businesses,- Build a campaign against the stigma of Bergamo’s immigrants,- Empower and build social inclusion of Bergamo’s immigrant population.
