Artevento Cervia
Artevento Cervia is the first event to view the kite as visual and performance art, blurring the lines between contemporary expression, theater, dance, circus, and puppetry. The festival takes place from April 21st to May 1st, 2023, on Cervia’s Pinarella Beach (Italy). This year, 250 designers and pilots join over 2000 enthusiasts for the 43rd edition of the festival, the original festival dedicated to kites and the environment, which has become a cult event for both promoters of the wind art and lovers of green tourism as well as sustainable creativity. In simultaneous flight, the event will show the most complete presentation of artistic, ethnic, historical, giant, sport, acrobatic, and combat kites.
The main theme of this year’s edition of Artevento Cervia is a tribute to the “Images for the Sky” collection (created in 1989 by Paul Eubel under the aegis of the Goethe-Institut in Osaka) with the presentation of the restoration of Mimmo Paladino’s kite commissioned by the artist himself to Dr. Nella Poggi Parigi, one of the leading experts in the conservation and restoration of works of art on paper.
