Art Trail in Trarego Viggiona: villages turned into open-air museum

Art Trail 2026 in Trarego Viggiona

When: 3-6 April 2026

Where: Trarego, Cheglio and Viggiona (Upper Lake Maggiore area)

The Art Trail returns in 2026 with a cultural route that blends contemporary art and rural scenery: small historic villages become dispersed galleries, hosting installations, paintings, sculptures and site-specific projects in private homes, courtyards, pop-up studios and public spaces.

• Locations: over thirty venues spread across Trarego, Cheglio and Viggiona.
• Art forms: painting, sculpture, photography, environmental installations and experimental interventions.
• Settings: from the town hall to the communal washhouse, churches and hidden village corners; many shows are set inside private properties and courtyards.
• Artists: national and international creators take part; the program includes an installation by artist Gianni Cella at the Town Hall.

The route is designed for walking: it encourages slow exploration, highlighting the relationship between artworks and the local landscape. The event promotes community involvement and the rediscovery of lesser-known historic spots.

Practical tips

• Wear comfortable shoes: several exhibits are reachable only on foot along trails and narrow streets.
• Respect private spaces: some installations are hosted in private homes and courtyards; follow posted signs and opening times.
• Full program: check schedules and specific events on the official website before your visit.
