Street artist Stefania Marchetto, aka SteReal, has animated for the second year in a row with new fantasy characters the walls of Sant'Angelo di Roccalvecce, a small village in Tuscia, in the province of Viterbo, known as the village of fairy tales.
In recent years, in fact, the village has been the protagonist of an urban art project entirely dedicated to the world of fairy tales and fantasy. After the first mural inspired by the story of The Sword in the Stone, painted for the 2019 edition, SteReal is back this year to create a dreamy Cinderella on a huge wall in the center. She will work on her new project until July 4, opening the third edition of the festival as an artist.
Inaugurated in 2017 with the large mural of Alice in Wonderland, the Sant'Angelo the Fairyland project has transformed the small village into an open-air museum, an art gallery with works and art installations related to the fantastic and legendary tale.
It was also chosen on entrusting the realization of the works to a team of women street artists, among the most famous on the Italian scene. Together with Arthur and Wizard Merlin and the other characters painted over the years by the women artists, SteReal 's Cinderella will merge with the real country, where the real and the fantasy are constantly blurred.
Promoted by theACAS Association with the organization of Alessandro Chiovelli and Gianluca Chiovelli, Sant'Angelo the Fairy Tale Country already has thirty works scattered along the streets of the village, creating an artistic path open to all, who walking through the streets of the center may be surprised to meet Don Quixote or Pinocchio, The Little Prince or Hansel and Gretel.
An all-female gallery: Stefania Marchetto, Tina Loiodice, Alessandra Carloni, Daniela Lai, Lidia Scalzo, Isabella Modanese, Stefania Capati, Cecilia Tacconi, Lena Ortmann, Ginevra Giovannoni, each with her own stylistic signature has made this small and precious village unique, contributing to its rebirth.
