Dedicated a square to Enrico Castellani in the municipality of Celleno

A square in the municipality of Celleno (VT) has been named after Enrico Castellani (Castelmassa, 1930 - Celleno, 2017), one of the greatest artists of the Italian 20th century. The artist lived and worked on his works in the municipality of Celleno for more than 44 years.

The ceremony was held on Saturday, April 27, 2019, in the presence of family members, Mayor of Celleno Marco Bianchi, President of the Province of Viterbo Pietro Nocchi, Patrizia Mania Professor of Contemporary Art History, University of Tuscia, and Architect Massimo Fordini Sonni.
The square named after Castellani is in front of the entrance to the Orsini Castle.

The Administration intends to pay tribute to a man of international renown, a source of pride for the community, with an everlasting memory, able to recall the deep bond he had with Celleno and testify to the mutual relationship of affection and esteem.

In the early 1970s, the artist initiated the restoration of the Castle and later the recovery of some buildings in the oldest part of the historic center, supporting the nascent project to revalue the village and redevelop its spaces.
