You know. This is one of the short writings carved in the vernacular (“Conuscite”) in the archivolt of the fourteenth-century portal of the Church of Saints Peter and Andrew in Castelbasso, a village in the province of Teramo. This universal invitation has become the mission of the Malvina Menegaz Foundation for Arts and Cultures, which has its headquarters a few steps from that portal: to foster knowledge and understanding of the present through art and culture for a redevelopment of the territory and its social and cultural fabric.

The Malvina Menegaz Foundation for Arts and Cultures was born in 2008 by the will of Osvaldo Menegaz, starting from his experience as president of the Amici per Castelbasso Association, a path started two decades ago that allowed to revitalize the village of Castelbasso and make it, then, a place for multidisciplinary dialogue and a laboratory of innovation and cultural production.

Visual arts, literature, music, theater are the research areas of the Malvina Menegaz Foundation, a proposal that includes exhibitions, educational activities, concerts, meetings, shows and cultural insights capable of offering the public moments of comparison and suggesting ideas for reading. criticism of our contemporary.
