New cultural plan for Casoria City
The birth of an idea
The Casoria International
Contemporary Art Museum is the result of a inique process of
collaboration between the Casoria City authorities and the
International Contemporary Art Centre from Naples.
The ambitious plan for creating the Casoria Museum
began in May 2003, when
high-ranking representatives of the Casoria authorities – the Mayor
Giosuč De Rosa, the
Cultural Counselor
Giulio Russo
and the Public Works Counselor
Pino
Esposito - contacted
Antonio Manfredi,
Artist and Art Director of the “International
Contemporary Art Center” with a proposal
for the latter to take part in the moves to revitalize Casoria City.
After identifying the ideal
site for the new Museum, in old industrial zone in Arpino-Casoria
(ex Snaidero
factory,
2 Km. by
International Naples Airport,
near Casoria and Naples
Train Station,
near
Motorway
A2, A3, A14 and Tangeziale), the construction is planned to
finish in 2007/2008.
