The Main Section of Arte Fiera, divided as always into post-war and contemporary art, in 2025 was accompanied by four curated, invitation-only sections: Photography and moving images, Pittura XXI, and Multiples, presenting works published in edition, plus the new section Prospettiva, devoted to emerging art-ists, represented by new or established galleries that have a research program.
Davide Ferri, critic and independent curator specializing in contemporary painting, has curated Pittura XXI since its first edition, while Photography and moving images was entrusted for the third year to Giangavino Pazzola, curator of di Camera - Centro italiano per la fotografia (Turin). Multiples was curated for the second year by critic and art historian Alberto Salvadori, while Prospettiva was curated by Michele D’Aurizio, curator and art historian working in Italy and in the United States.
In addition to the curated sections, there was again be Percorso: not really a section, but, as the name implies, an itinerary that thematically links some of the stands in the Main Section and in the curated sections. After two years devoted to artistic forms (Ceramics in 2023 and Drawing in 2024), Percorso 2025 also was concerned the content of the works: in fact, the new theme is “Community.”
