Chiasso Perduto is an experimental space in the center of Florence,is part of the Palazzo Macchiavelli and used to be a cellar and kitchens of the same palace.The neighbourhood in wich it is located is Borgo San Frediano, the area known as Oltrarno is between Ponte Vecchio, ponte Amerigo Vespucci and the ancient city walls, listed by Lonely Planet as one of the 10 most interesting neighbourhoods in the world for its strong Florentine identity.

The organisers philosophy is always to create an interaction with the territory, to inquire about the position of an artist in front of a specific context, whether is the space itself with its architecture and history that already have a strong identity, be it a cultural dialogue with the neighborhood or the city and/or with the language, generating new codes that allow artists to expand their artistic research, perhaps breaking boundaries in terms of cultural constructions, techniques, of philosophical approaches and finally repositioning in front of a questioning of the conceptualization of the work itself. They are open to receive proposals that erase frontiers between artistic disciplines.
