Il 9 and the 10 October 2021 a new edition of SigninVerses,poetic art attack which takes place in Piazza Mercato in Naples, Poetry and street art festival which will animate the whole area.
The initiative was born two years ago thanks to an idea of the SegninVersi collective, that is a group of associations from Campania directed by Rosa Mancini to protect and promote the beauty of the Market area through art.
This is the second edition of the Festival, after a year of pause due to the pandemic, and is intended as a two-day event full of events, art and appointments with culture through books, authors, poetry, painters, WORKSHOPS and emerging artists. Long live the participation of the shopkeepers who have joined and who will make their own available shutters, 20 in total, to have them painted by emerging artists. They will be colored and will express the verses of the winning poets of a contest promoted by Poesie Metropolitane last year. The theme was "The vision against disasters", as part of the Maggio dei Monumenti dedicated to Giordano Bruno.
In Piazza Mercato you can also donate books to Poesie Metropolitane using the poetic info point where new books or books written by emerging authors will be collected. They will be donated to collection centers for basic necessities, such as Asso.gioca and the blood donors of Castellamare di Stabia.
The exhibitions and meetings in the Cloister
During the weekend they will also be there photographic exhibitions which can be visited in Cloister of Sant'Eligio made by the authors Enrico Di Cerbo, Elio Messina, Klaus Bunker and Emanuele Coppola.
