TRAleVOLTE APS

Since its beginning in 2005, the TRAleVOLTE association has promoted dialogue between the different languages of contemporary art and architecture with the aim of stimulating cultural debate between man and the environment, in the knowledge that art and architecture can contribute to the construction of civilisation and create bonds between groups and peoples in order to improve human relations. TRAleVOLTE is based in the historic premises of the SALA2 Architettura studio, founded in the 1970s by Tito Amodei within the Scala Santa complex in Rome. Over the years, the association has consistently promoted cultural activities, such as solo and group exhibitions, book presentations and various projects, both on its own premises and in other private and institutional venues, with Italian and international artists of all generations.
