From May 26th to June 10th the FACE’Arts international contemporary art event returns! Follow the Studio d’Arte Gentile Polo in the traveling event organized by the MS Eventi, which will animate the city of Sanremo for the 2018 edition.
The works sent for the 2018 edition of FACE’Arts will embellish the evocative rooms of the Fort of Santa Tecla, located near the Old Port and used up to twenty years ago as Judicial Courts.
The Fort of Santa Tecla owes its name to the alleged relic of the saint buried with the first stone July 6, 1754, while the original name was Fortress of San Giorgio as desired by the Genoese to contain the rebellion of the Sanremo, who had asked annexation to the Kingdom of Sardinia.
The work, designed by the military engineer Giacomo De Sicre and cost 70 thousand Lire Genoese, from 1864 to 1997 was used as a prison with brief exceptions: during the First World War it was used as a base for seaplanes, ammunition storage in the second conflict world.
