It was while visiting an event dedicated to engraving in Venice that, talking with Maestro Giorgio Trentin (father of the historic Associazione degli Incisori Veneti), Domenico Fratianni had the idea of creating, in his own Campobasso, an event to open this extraordinary but little-known art to the general public, \u201coutside the official circuits\u201d.
He thus wrote a manifesto-text that has guided, through satisfactions and difficulties, the Biennale dell\u2019Incisione Italiana Contemporanea \u201cCitt\u00e0 di Campobasso\u201d (as it was called until 2020) up to its eleventh edition; on the occasion of that edition, the manifesto was revisited to be gradually brought to fulfilment in all its potential.
The BIIC is currently one of the longest-running biennials dedicated to engraving in Italy and, probably, the main \u2014 if not the only \u2014 point of reference in Southern Italy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
