Talk: collecting has never been merely an investment
“Collecting has never been merely an investment. It is intuition, courage, and the ability to see what is not yet evident.”
On Saturday, October 4, 2025, in the unique setting of Distilleria Mazzetti d’Altavilla in the heart of Monferrato, Germinale Art Fest and Trium Art Gallery invite you to a gathering designed to open a true and necessary dialogue on the present and future of art collecting.

Viale Unità D’Italia, 2, 15041 Altavilla Monferrato AL
Moderated by Francesca Canfora, director of Germinale, the talk will feature distinguished voices:
Cloe Piccoli, contemporary art critic and curator;
Caroline Corbetta, curator and artistic director of Il Crepaccio;
Eliano Omar Lodesani, prominent Italian collector.
A moment of exchange on the relationship between art and collecting, between aesthetic enjoyment and cultural value, while also addressing the investment perspectives that today’s market continues to offer.
The event will also serve as an occasion for networking and discovery, a valuable enrichment for any collector wishing to act with awareness, connect their passions to a broader vision, and hear first-hand experiences from those who shape the contemporary art system.
Distilleria Mazzetti d’Altavilla, Monferrato
