A photographic reproduction of the central table and bezel of the “Pala di Arcevia” was created in 2009 to celebrate the temporary return to Arcevia of the central panel of the same, that is an elegant “Madonna and Saints” now exhibited at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, work of Signorelli in 1508.

Complex monument made of bronze, marble and stone, which depicts a Fante protecting a woman with child (in Venafro we find a faithful copy of Tamagnini), resting on a column that lists the martyrs of the two wars. At the foot, interesting votive lamp in wrought iron, restored by Ipsia of Arcevia, built in 1941 by Getullio Simoncelli, a talented local blacksmith.
Emblem of the Resistance of the Marches, the monument consists of a statue depicting the partisan with his weapon lowered and his gaze turned towards the place of the massacre of Monte Sant’Angelo, Casa Mazzarini, and a bronze bas-relief depicting scenes of partisan war.
Fresco painted in a niche of the ancient door, in the sixteenth-century manner, where it was an old painting irremediably lost. Saint Medardo is the patron saint of Arcevia. Of the same artist there are also other outdoor interventions, in three castles of the municipality: the coat of arms and the ceramic dial of the public clock at Piticchio, a lunette depicting Sant’Agata, above the portal of the parish church of Castiglioni, and a fresco depicting Saint Peter, in the homonymous castle of Arcevia.
Stone sculptures made by the two artists in Sant’Ippolito (PU) during the event “Sculpting in the square” XII ed., purchased by the Red Gorge Park and Frasassi to place them at the east and west entrance of Arcevia (park gates called “The landscape”).
This stone was installed by the municipality of Arcevia to commemorate, 600 years after the event, the battle and liberation of Rocca Contrada (today Arcevia) from the siege of Ludovico Migliorati and Angelo della Pergola, thanks to Braccio da Montone, famous captain of fortune, who became lord of the city.
Using the ruins of the farmhouse of the peasant family of Mazzarini, the town has created a monument with memorial stone, flag raising and brazier, to remember the theater of one of the bloodiest massacres of the Nazi Marche Region, which took place on May 4, 1944, when the members of the Mazarini family were exterminated along with the partisans hosted.
The Californian artist has created in Arcevia his first Italian outdoor work, thanks to his participation in the “Pop Up! Festival”. The mural is inspired both by the Partisan Resistance against the Nazi-Fascists, here on Mount S. Angelo the famous massacre took place, and by the Resistance of nature that is re-appropriating the Cava, thanks to a project of environmental redevelopment.
Hispanic-Argentinian artist Zosen, thanks to his collaboration with “Pop Up! Festival”, has literally covered with its small and joyful figures the headquarters of the biological Cooperative La Terra e Il Cielo in Piticchio, creating a large mural entitled “Paraiso”.

The collective “Coloro del Colore Naturale”, local artists and some collaborators of the Cooperative also participated in the realization of the mural.
