Luigi Bosca Center for Culture and the Arts

---

The art gallery of the Luigi Bosca Center for Culture and the Arts was born in 1981 (the 150th anniversary of the Bosca Company) from an interesting idea which immediately fascinated the artists: mutual exchange works of art. At Bosca we are convinced that every single bottle coming out of the plant is a work of art made of inestimable natural heritage coming from the grapes, the love of the ones who worked in the vineyards and the dedication of the people who transformed it into wine. For similar reasons the work of an artist contains the love, the patience, the genius and the torment of its author. Many among the greatest artists of Piedmont and other regions of Italy enthusiastically accepted Bosca's proposal. In exchange of a fair amount of cases of Bosca's sparkling wine the art gallery was enriched with works by Paulucci, Calandri, Mazzonis, Soffiantino, Licata, Chessa, Tabusso, Baj, Guglieminetti and many, many others.
