About
This small village has invited painters to decorate its walls since the 1960s.
The medieval village of Dozza sits amidst miles of vineyards just outside Bologna. The first houses date back to the ninth century, and the wall surrounding the city to 1086, when Bolognese forces conquered the village. Every two years since then, more than 200 artists have joined in the event, creating an open-air gallery along the streets and squares of the town. Artists come from around the world to join in the event, and the murals take many different forms: landscape and still life, realistic and abstract.
