Amalia Caratozzolo for Arte & Caffè 2026
To Discover Joy and Wish a Festive Year
An artist with a wonderful idea that becomes a project to tell the story of the year to come. A thought that appears naïve at first glance, yet is anything but. What stands out is the frivolous and light-hearted character of the narrative as it flows, entertains, and distracts. A divertissement that distances us from life’s anxieties and invites joy a marvelous and contagious gift that brings people together, draws us away from routine and boredom, and illuminates the future. A profound thought brightens the pages of the coming year 2026, a sequence of images in which the elegance of color—featuring the warm tones of ochre, light blue, and deep blue captures the curious eye and reveals details waiting to be discovered. Delightful and cheerful, the Barbera 2026 Calendar for Arte & Caffè has been masterfully painted by Amalia Caratozzolo, who has colored for us a better future.
