An exhibition titled ‘Rara Avis – Bronze Portraits from Magna Graecia to the Contemporary’ by Antonio Affidato recently concluded at the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria, featuring bronze works that bridge ancient traditions with contemporary art. In conjunction with these themes, the ‘Mega Galmata’ international monumental sculpture symposium is scheduled to take place in Brancaleone from September 26 to October 3, 2026. Organized by the Palazzo Spinelli Institute of Art and Restoration, the event brings together seven sculptors from Armenia, Georgia, Greece, India, Iran, Poland, and Italy. The artists will use Lecce stone to create works based on the theme ‘from stone to myth,’ featuring subjects such as the Minotaur and Poseidon. The symposium includes a cultural program of art history lectures, educational workshops, and a public unveiling of the finished sculptures. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Calabria hosts major sculpture exhibitions and international symposiums Calabria hosts major sculptural events, including Antonio Affidato’s bronze exhibition in Reggio Calabria and the upcoming ‘Mega Galmata’ international monumental sculpture symposium in Brancaleone. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/calabria-hosts-major-sculpture-exhibitions-and-international-symposiums ### 2026-09-18: Brancaleone hosts international sculpture symposium Seven international sculptors will gather in Brancaleone, Italy, from September 26 to October 3 to create monumental stone sculptures as part of the Mega Galmata symposium. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brancaleone-hosts-international-sculpture-symposium --- Cite as: Sculpture exhibitions and symposiums in Calabria.
