On Saturday, January 29, 2011, has been opened the Library Archive of Little Constellation with the participation of the Capitano di Castello (Mayor) of Serravalle, the Ambassador to the OSCE and a large audience of young people interested in culture and contemporary art. Alessandro Castiglioni, curator and art historian, and Rita Canarezza & Pier Paolo Coro presented the characteristics of this first research center and specialist archive, freely available for consultation, which comprises some 415 volumes, including a number of rare books and publications on contemporary art, which were collected in seven years’ work in Europe, and particularly in the small European states: Andorra, Cyprus, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, and in a few european geocultural micro-areas including Canton Ticino (CH), Ceuta (E), Gibraltar (UK), Kaliningrad (RU). The occasion was marked by presentations and artistic interventions.
Little Constellation, by means of a constant work on international art, now restores a social space for culture and research to the territory of San Marino. All this has been possible thanks to the interest and support of private and public organizations, which have invested in an innovative art project, which is now part of the common heritage.
