Italia in fumo

ART for The World e Assab One
in collaboration with NABA and Acevo

June 2006

A performance by Antonio Scarponi and Peppe Clemente

The performance Italia in fumo (Italy in smoke) is part of a project conceived by two artists to invite all citizens, smokers and non-smokers alike, to become promoters and witnesses of the values that hold us together. The project proposes the dissemination of the articles of the Italian Constitution inscribed in the graphic device envisaged by European Directive 2001/37/EC for the campaign against smoking and provides downloadable files for the ‘do it yourself’ production of cigarette packet covers, t-shirts, stickers and screensavers with the articles of the Constitution (http://www.italiainfumo.net).
