DIPLOMATIC ART 2017 (2)



„Casa e trasloco”, the 3rd edition of the DIPLOMATIC ART project (curator Maria Orosan Telea), is organized by the Diplomatic Art Association and the Honorary Consulate of Italy in Timișoara and marks 300 years since the birth of Francesco Griselini (1717-1787).

The second phase, Casa e trasloco (2), continued with the exhibition opening and conference of the anthropologist Francesco Marano in Timișoara, on November 2nd and 3rd, 2017.
