Sculpture Symposium

ScoglieraViva, the International Open-Air Sculpture Symposium, is back from June 18th to 28th, 2025. Over the past thirty years, it has turned the cliff of Caorle into a veritable open-air museum.
Today, this unique art gallery by the sea is one of the most charming places in the ancient Venetian seaside village.
ScoglieraViva is an attraction for thousands of tourists from all over Europe, but it is also an asset for all citizens.

History

The Outdoor Sculpture Prize was first organized in 1992 when the City of Caorle invited sculptor Sergio Longo, who first transformed one of the Euganean trachyte boulders into a sculpture. The clamor and interest aroused by the first works convinced the then tourist promotion company and the municipal administration to organize a full-fledged International Sculpture Symposium, initially annually and then biennially, which drew artists from all over the world to Caorle and was later named ScoglieraViva.
Since 2018 the symposium got a new and international meaning, with artists coming from all over the world, called to intervene on the cliff's rocks thanks to Cultural Association MoCA and Arte Laguna, who have been following the project together with Caorle Municipality.
From Germany, to India passing through Russia, the Caorle's seafront now hosts unique works, testimony to the fact that art is a universal language.
