50X50 Capitals squared
Born in the name of a highly participatory method, the macro-project sees the fifty Municipalities of the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, ‘Capital’ for a week in 2024. The rich 12-month program brings together over 350 subjects thanks to an unprecedented work choral among the administrations sanctioned by a protocol, involves hundreds of artists and creatives and represents an invitation to a journey between nature and culture, to discover a polycentric and polyphonic land, between sea and hills. 50×50 was born from a collective intelligence that also works on small communities and understands the territory not only within the urban ring but as a precious network of relationships and bonds over a vast area that needs to be expanded: because the Capital of Culture is an opportunity to increase the cultural capital of all citizens. By placing the focus on individual excellences, the great picture of a province takes shape that wants to present itself at its best to Italy and the world with the ambition of being a real laboratory of ideas for the other cities that are candidates for Italian capital of culture.
