On Saturday, June 27, the activities of the fuoricatalogo gallery moved to the pianoforte, an evocative countryside residence and the operational heart of our antiques business.

We invited our guests to follow a path off the beaten track, discovering an exclusive selection of rare, unseen, and precious pieces historically linked to our research. For one evening, the artworks inhabited the outdoor space of the residence: a fluid venue, in full motion and constant evolution, which shed its skin to welcome visitors in a spontaneous and informal atmosphere.

It was a special opportunity to explore behind the scenes of the private collection, cross the threshold of the restoration workshop, and forge new connections; a moment for meeting and sharing ideas, sipping a drink as daylight gave way to evening.

During the evening, we unveiled an artwork of exceptional artistic, social, cultural, and anthropological significance—a piece rich in meaning for Abruzzo, a symbol of important historical events and of a craftsmanship envied worldwide. This marked the first part of a journey that will culminate in a second major showcase in September, bringing the summer to a close.

As sunset approached, the evening continued with an original culinary performance, the result of a careful curation of long-lost Abruzzese products and dishes. Historically rooted in peasant, rural, pastoral (transhumance), mountain, and maritime traditions, we are working to recover and present these flavors to preserve a fundamental indigenous heritage for our region. This journey of taste was designed to mirror the deepest identity of our gallery, in full harmony with the fuoricatalogo philosophy—a true extension of the concepts of restoration and art just witnessed. Several traditional dishes were structurally deconstructed and reimagined in different versions to be enjoyed while mingling, with a glass of wine from the Pescara hills in hand, within our evolving space.
