Post a Comment. Saturday, 11 April It takes more than a half an hour of driving on a tortuous road to get from Pescara to Bolognano, a little village in a hilly area that confines with the Parco della Maiella , in the Abruzzese Apennine Mountains. It is only possible to drive there, as rare public transport is available to get to there.

The whole area where Bolognano is located is scarcely inhabited. Vineyards alternate olive trees plantation. Cultivated fields find place in narrow areas among rocky and woody slopes. Few isolated cottages and farms dot the land, whereas more dense but scarcely inhabited are the villages placed on hill tops. Bolognano is one of these almost abandoned villages.

There, in the last fifteen years of his life, the German artist Joseph Beuys lived while developing a project titled Operazione in Difesa della Natura The Defence of the Nature , with the patronage and collaboration of the baroness Lucrezia De Domizio Durini. In Bolognano, there have been several art event over the past ten years, which have left feeble marks, almost forgotten, in the village.
