Cairo's Italian Cultural Institute Hosts Exhibition "Art Equals Life"

Without art, we cannot live, because we actually learn from nature, and as it is said, nature is the best teacher of art, for humanity in general and for the artist in a particular way.

Dr. Davide Scalmani, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute, has inaugurated an exhibition for four artists in the field of Plastic Art, including graphics, photography, and printing textiles and self-portraits. 

The exhibition is under the title "Art = Life".

In view of the intertwined and interdependent relations between the Italian Cultural Institute and Egypt in the fields of culture, literature, art, and music, and in addition to the cooperation between the Italian and Egyptian people in the promotion of public artistic knowledge where Italy is considered an incubator and stimulant of the arts, and Egypt is presenting its great civilization over the years. The Italian Cultural Institute had a great role in setting up this exhibition for four plastic artists from different cultural backgrounds.
