Among this years special projects the town council of San Gimignano - in collaboration with the Associazione Arte Continua - held a competition for young Italian Artists requiring an intervention in the interior of the Teatro dei Leggieri in San Gimignano. situated in the main Piazza, this small theatre is a marked presence in the history of the town. It was built in the 18th century in the traditional Italian style, but though the foyer was refurbished quite recently, it does not match the beauty of the theatre itself because the available space is extremely limited. Therefore the competition called for projects capable of enlarging the space from a visual point of view, given that it is not physically possible to enlarge it. Five artists - Mario Airó, Sergia Avveduti, Massimo Bartolini, Margherita Morgantin and Italo Zuffi - were invited to submit projects. A jury consisting of the staff of the Associazione Arte Continua, the mayor and the curator chose the project presented by Mario Airó and developed in conjunction with the photographer Attilio Maranzano, not just for its intrinsic interest but also because it was practicable. Photographs of small historic theatres in Tuscany - both detailed and full shots - have been positioned on the balustrade of the theatre foyer. These are accompanied by an audio tape with extracts from Puck's monologue in 'A midsummer night's dream'.
