Arte a Furore (Open-Air Art Gallery)

The hamlet of Furore has been transformed over several decades into an open-air gallery, with murals, sculptures, and ceramic installations tucked into walls, stairways, and terraces throughout the scattered village above the fjord. International and Italian artists have contributed work, ranging from large painted murals to small ceramic plaques let into stone walls.

There is no map or official route — the art is found as you explore the village's irregular network of lanes, stairways, and terraced paths. Some pieces are prominently placed; others require sharp eyes to spot. The village is best explored on foot in the early morning before the day-trip traffic arrives, when the narrow lanes are quiet and the light on the painted walls is at its best.

A story
The Arte a Furore project was initiated in the 1980s by the painter Marisa Albanese, who began inviting artists to create works on the walls and surfaces of the village. The tradition of hosting artists continues today, and new murals are added periodically. Some have survived for decades; others have faded into the limestone or been painted over, so the gallery is always slowly changing.
