Baroque Meets Contemporary Art
From 24 October to 22 November 2026, the Church of San Giuseppe in Alba hosts “The Origin: The Sacred Between Father and Daughter in Contemporary Art”, an exhibition marking the 350th anniversary of the death of Orsola Maddalena Caccia, daughter of the painter Guglielmo Caccia, known as “Il Moncalvo”.
The Arte Narrata project, launched in 2025 to commemorate Guglielmo and Orsola Caccia, arrives in Alba with 17 internationally renowned artists, invited to explore the theme of the Sacred and the relationship between father and daughter.
Through different techniques and artistic languages, the artists offer a contemporary interpretation of a theme deeply rooted in art history and spirituality, creating a dialogue between their works and the Baroque setting of the Church of San Giuseppe.
During the exhibition, visitors will also have the opportunity to discover the Roman archaeological site beneath the church, the panoramic bell tower and Maestro Angelo Proglio’s dioramas dedicated to the life of Jesus and the hilly landscape of the Langhe.
