Locanda Leonardo
Eighteen exhibitions by artists, photographers and local groups, curated by Raouf Gharbia at the Locanda Leonardo and, with “Art in the bank”, in the Banca Generali offices in Lecco.
Complesso di Santa Maria del Lavello, Calolziocorte

Since 2022 Raouf Gharbia has curated the exhibition programme of the Locanda Leonardo, in the Santa Maria del Lavello complex in Calolziocorte: one exhibition a month, opened with a convivial gathering, for painters, photographers, young students from the Brera Academy and local creative workshops.
With the “Art in the bank” initiative, some exhibitions also moved into the Banca Generali offices in Lecco, bringing art beyond the places traditionally devoted to it.
