Art and winemaking: Korean visual traditions meet Italian wine culture in Viareggio

Today at 17:00 the Sala del San Leone in Porta a Lucca hosts the opening of the collective exhibition "Etichette d’autore", featuring the winning works of the Wine Label Contest promoted by the Ilbaekheon gallery in collaboration with the historic Tenuta del Buonamico winery.

The exhibition showcases Korean popular art reinterpreted for wine labels: selected pieces draw on Minwha (folk painting), Bojagi (textile art) and contemporary patchwork, turning each label into a cultural bridge between Korea and Italy.
