The tenth edition of Divinarte returns to the Forte dei Borgia in Nepi.

A big lineup is coming for Divinarte at the Forte dei Borgia in Nepi, scheduled for October 2-4, 2026.

For the tenth edition of the event, a special edition is in store entitled "When Art Meets Pop. Between Colors, Icons, and Glasses: Marilyn's 100."

The prestigious event that unites wine and culture, for its tenth anniversary, is tinged with the thousand colors of Pop Art and pays homage to one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century: Marilyn Monroe, celebrating the 100th anniversary of her birth.

A unique wine and culture event that will tell the myth of Hollywood, the energy of pop culture and

the excellence of wine in a unique sensory journey.

Territory and wine tourism itineraries will be combined with installations, performances, and references to the great masters of the genre, from Andy Warhol to Keith Haring, shining a spotlight on a fundamental chapter in visual history.

The event, organized by the AmorArte cultural association led by Simona Benedetti in collaboration with the AIS sommeliers coordinated by Maurizio Giovannetti, will, as usual, host Italian and international artists and winemakers with a common thread: Pop Art, the movement that revolutionized the relationship between art, mass culture, advertising, and music.

A truly multicultural journey, from Andy Warhol to Keith Haring to the Scuola di Piazza del Popolo, exploring the cultural ferment of 1960s Rome, where artists like Mario Schifano, Franco Angeli, Tano Festa, and Mimmo Rotella translated the American myth and icons like Marilyn through their unique sensibility and style into an all-Italian unity that will be celebrated with paintings, sculptures, and photography, as well as musical, theatrical, and dance performances, lectures, tastings, and guided tours.

In an unmissable itinerary of art, wine, performances, and musical influences, Divinarte will offer an unforgettable multisensory experience in a triumph of colors, icons, glasses, and local products. Inside the Forte, there will be three refreshment points offering everything from various types of crostini to piadinas and sandwiches featuring local products.

Over 50 artists and 60 wineries from all over Italy will be present at the tenth edition of Divinarte, a Pop Art event hosted in the splendid setting of the Rocca dei Borgia, a unique setting in the characteristic historic center of the city of Nepi.
