Pizza and Art in Desenzano del Garda, with its splendid position on Lake Garda, has always been a much-loved tourist destination. And now, thanks to an initiative by Tourism Councillor Daniela Plodari, the town has added yet another reason to visit: Cracking Art.

Our Pizzeria on Via Lungolago Cesare Battisti 73 in Desenzano del Garda sits at the center of this important artistic initiative that's drawing the attention of visitors seeking art and beauty.

Desenzano will host the Cracking Art exhibition "Favole Urbane" ("Urban Fables") for three months. The exhibition has brought 47 colorful animal sculptures to the squares and most iconic spots of the town's historic center. Visitors, families, residents and tourists have been able to admire, photograph and interact with bears, snails, meerkats, wolves, rabbits, elephants and even penguins.

Cracking Art is an art movement born in 1993 with the goal of changing the history of art through a strong social and environmental commitment. The movement uses plastic as its material of choice and has created more than 500 installations around the world.

The works were placed in strategic spots around town, such as Piazza Matteotti, Piazza Malvezzi, Piazza Garibaldi, the Lungolago Cesare Battisti near the Santa Cupola and the Diga Foranea breakwater. These animal sculptures caught visitors' attention and created a unique experience for everyone who took part in the exhibition.

The initiative was a great success, with the exhibition drawing many people to the town of Desenzano. The Tourism Councillor stated that the goal of the exhibition was to extend the tourist season beyond summer and attract people with a display of artworks appreciated all over the world. Cracking Art has proven to be a new, ancestral and ecological art form, one that promotes the regeneration and recycling of materials.

The Cracking Art exhibition in Desenzano del Garda showed that the town is capable of hosting culturally significant, internationally relevant events, and helped increase the town's visibility. The initiative benefited not only tourists and visitors but also the town's own residents. The exhibition enriched the town's cultural heritage and created a unique atmosphere in the historic center.

In conclusion, the Cracking Art exhibition was a unique opportunity to visit the town of Desenzano del Garda and admire ecological, innovative works of art. The town proved it is capable of hosting culturally significant events, and the exhibition helped increase its visibility. If you're looking for a unique experience, visit Desenzano del Garda and admire the Cracking Art sculptures.
