Underneath the Arches is a program for contemporary art that takes place at an archeological site holding the remains of an aqueduct from the Augustan age, in the area of Borgo Vergini-Sanità in Naples. Under the artistic direction of Chiara Pirozzi and Alessandra Troncone, and in collaboration with Associazione VerginiSanità, Underneath the Arches aims to activate a dialogue between archaeology and contemporary art, and to establish a relationship between the local material and immaterial culture and the artistic research of international artists. Its main objective is to promote both existing cultural heritage and new production in contemporary art.
