ABBRACCIO PIÛ FORTE

With the initiative « L’abbraccio più forte » (The strongest hug), launched in March 2020, Valerio Berruti decided to donate one of his drawings to anyone who made a donation of at least €300 to the Fondazione Nuovo Ospedale Alba-Bra Onlus in response to the Covid-19 emergency.

To focus attention on music, a neglected sector in these difficult times, Valerio invites musicians from all over the world to share an original song to complement the video animation of « L’abbraccio più forte », idealistically extending its embrace to the world of performing arts and musical composition.

“L’abbraccio più forte”, Valerio Berruti’s video animation and its more than 100 original soundtracks, including one by Phil St George, compiled under the hashtag #hugs4music, lands at São Paulo’s MAC Museum of Contemporary Art. « The exhibition « Além de 2020, Arte italiana na pandemia » from 29 May to 22 August 2021.
