Press Inquiries
Interviews, site visits, images, and filming access
TROPEArte has been covered by Calabrian, national Italian, and international media since 2023 — across three editions of the Plein Air Festival, the opening of the Accademia degli Archi, and our work in memory of those lost at sea.
We’re glad to arrange interviews, site visits, and access to the Arches for photography and filming. High-resolution images of the space and events held there are available to share, as are details of the ongoing study of the Arches’ origins.
