Campo Urbano

On September 21, 1969, an event called Campo Urbano, curated by Luciano Caramel, was held in the historical centre of Como. It had intentions of creating an event that puts in direct contact the artist and the city centre and, above all, its citizens. Caramel asked Grazia Varisco, Bruno Munari, Ugo La Pietra and Dadamaino, among many others, to create a unique opportunity in which the artistic interventions are in no way pre-arranged or assessed by a commission. The goal was to bring the reflection of art, architecture, design and music to the people through radical participatory interventions and aesthetic interventions in the collective urban dimension.
