ARTOUR-O il MUST is a project platform that aims to bridge the gap between public and private, between past and
present thanks to a scene that animates during every edition. The Temporary Museum is an innovative format that
constantly promotes in Italy and abroad the creativity typical of who lives in Italy.
Goals
ARTOUR-O favors the projects, believing that the ideas are the engine of the economy. The contents of every edition are
selected in a glocal perspective, to promote networking and the dialogue between Arts and Business, focusing on the
pivotal role of Patronage.
Our counterparts
The project is aimed to public and private institutions, Museums, Municipalities, Businesses, Architecture and Design
Studios, Foundations and Universities that present a project about their identity.

ARTOUR-O il MUST back in London
For the second year ARTOUR-O comes to London to present the exhibition "A Red Carpet for Italian Interiors",
organised by Tiziana Leopizzi with the ideas of the Project Leaders of the public and private institutions.
Arts and Design join in Chelsea in the venue of Ventique that for two weeks vill become an "Italian Style Interior".
The malAcorda trio will perform some pieces during the opening, while on the 11th Giua and Armando Corsi will play at
the Italian Cultural Institute.
Special project “Anfibio Forever”
ARTOUR-O il MUST in London presents for the first time a special project designed for Giovannetti Collezioni and the
famous "Anfibio" sofa: a unique, famed, informal piece permanently displayed at the MOMA in New York.
The project is articulated in three steps: in this first in this occasion the studies of the artists who have been invited to
elaborate their own version of Anfibio will displayed.
The second step during ARTOUR-O in Florence next march other studies will be presented and the production
candidates selected.
The third step will take place in Pistoia in the Giacometti factory where for the first time a crossover ARTOUR-O and
MISA will take place.
The event takes place under the patronage of the Italian Institute for Culture in London where two sculptures of Brunivo
Buttarelli and Giampiero Poggiali Berlingeri will be displayed.
We wish to thank all those who cooperated to the realisation and mainly Carlo Presenti, Vanessa Hall-Smith and Elena
Rasori and our partners in London Matteo Bianchi, Matteo Margaroli and Eamon Spelman.
