AMAZZONIA is a concept that combines the sale of art books with other objects produced/conceived/connected in our region. It started as a survey of the vegetation of the industrial area. It is a temporary bookshop on the ground floor/warehouse of Viaindustriae, Via delle Industrie 9, Foligno (PG). It usually takes place once a year to coincide with the beginning of the Christmas break. From time to time it is also repeated in the summer.

2023: 2 December, 5.30 p.m. Viaindustriae + Radio Safari, Animal Sounds Calendar. Radio Safari is an audio-documentary project about animals and what, of animals, we hear. The calendar suggests each month, with drawings by Giulio Scalisi and words by Radio Safari, some ways of exploring the animal world and some ways of listening to the sounds this world produces.

2022: 22 December, 6 p.m. Viaindustriae + Torrerivera, Olio per ungere i libri. Limited edition of 50 250 ml bottles of oil with personalised label, perfect to accompany one of our books as a Christmas gift. Extra virgin olive oil is an organic liquid that allows itself to be dangerously absorbed by the paper of the pages that rest safely in our books; artists, publishers, printers would advise against letting it into their studios and offices. Bookbinders, graphic designers, typographers would call it the enemy of the uncoated paper. But on the occasion of Amazonia 2022, Viaindustriae has decided to welcome it and make it a protagonist, taking the risk of making it meet (metaphorically) with the pages of books to grease them well.

2021: 15 July, 6.30 pm, AMAZZONIA returns with a day of workshops, performances, book sales and listening stations. This year we are presenting a project to map the trees in the green area around Viaindustriae.

2020: Online. Viaindustriae + Pasticceria Fontana & Fontana. AMAZZONIA online: handmade panettone in combination with discounted books.

2019: 22 December, 5 p.m. Viaindustriae + Jeffrey Isaac. Jeffrey Isaac premieres 48 Reize, a line of artist's t-shirts produced by Viaindustriae. 48 Reize, a project by Jeffrey Isaac, is a set of multi-dimensional images: a series of oil paintings on rolls of canvas, a series of 8-second video animations with sound by Nyla Van Ingen, a series of t-shirts and a catalogue.

2018: 20 December, 5.30 p.m. Viaindustriae + Vivai Sara. For the first edition of AMAZZONIA, Viaindustriae selects plants from Vivai Sara that are sold in combination with books.

A Week From Monday is a residency project for visual artists and musicians working together for a week in Scopoli (Foligno, PG). The residency aims to produce a publication published by Viaindustriae in collaboration with Holydays, with a record edited by Holydays and Rous Records; a live musical performance by the musicians who took part in the residency that occurs during the Holydays Festival in Scopoli. Scopoli hosts the residency week; its rich and fragile natural and social context becomes the protagonist of the participants' own research. During their stay, the selected artists and staff stay overnight in the earthquake-proof wooden "cottages" - formerly destined for evacuees - marking a change in the destination of places that preserve the memory of the earthquake experience. The first residency in 2020 resulted in a publication with a CD that collects visual and sound materials produced during the seven days of work with the visiting artists Giacomo Infantino and Francesca Ruberto and the musicians Laura Agnusdei, Matteo Pennesi, Luca Sguera (see publication: https://publishing.viaindustriae.it/a-week-from-monday/); the second residency in 2021 resulted in a publication with the same format as the previous one, which collects the materials produced by the visual artist Davide Barbini and the musicians ksara, Vincenzo Marando, Steve Pepe; the third residency in 2023 resulted in an artist's book, an artist's record and a cd.

Richard Prince is one of the pioneers of the art of appropriation. By (re)photographing advertising images or recycling elements of American popular culture - whether westerns, comics or pulp fiction - he questions the fundamentals and construction of American mythology and the hierarchy between “high” and “low” art. His production of images also raises questions related to the authorship of the work, plagiarism and intellectual property, and the dissemination and circulation of imagery . 
He is also a collector and obsessive producer of books, from War Pictures (1980) to The Entertainers: 1982–1983 (2023).

E IL TOPO. Storia di una rivista d'artista con un'insolita strategia editoriale, è il doppio volume a cura di Gabriele di Matteo e Franco Silvestro, edito da a+mbookstore, realizzato e pubblicato a seguito della vittoria della XI edizione del bando Italian Council. Il progetto editoriale E IL TOPO, che ricostruisce l’evoluzione e gli esiti dell’omonima rivista d’artista pubblicata dal 1992 al 1996 e dal 2012 ad oggi, è composto da un cofanetto contenente due volumi, oltre a otto poster d'artista allegati. Il primo tomo è costituito dalla riproduzione “esatta e fedele” dei 33 numeri della rivista in stampa anastatica e misura originale; il secondo tomo ricostruisce, attraverso i contributi critici di Anna Cuomo, Françoise Lonardoni e Giorgio Verzotti, la matrice concettuale da cui ha origine questo singolare esempio di editoria indipendente di matrice collettiva. La rivista E IL TOPO è stata fondata da Gabriele di Matteo e Franco Silvestro a Napoli nel 1992 ma la sua redazione ha sempre avuto un carattere internazionale, transgenerazionale, orizzontale e antigerarchico. Il collettivo è stato composto negli anni da circa 20 membri con una configurazione fluida che ha riunito progetti specifici a cui hanno collaborato scambievolmente artisti e autori differenti, tra i quali: Stefano Arienti, Massimo Bartolini, Vanessa Beecroft, Maurizio Cattelan, Mark Dion, Jimmie Durham, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, John Lurie, Eva Marisaldi, Miltos Manetas, Amedeo Martegani, Cesare Viel, Luca Vitone tra gli altri. L’insolita strategia editoriale risiede principalmente sul potere insito nella discontinuità di senso, nonchè sul gioco, l’ironia e sul détournement.
E IL TOPO è tutt’oggi un "movimento" internazionale che trasmette un'attitudine libertaria, il cui modus operandi non riconosce ruoli predefiniti ma è sempre aperto ad apporti multidisciplinari e multiautoriali. La presenza di E IL TOPO è contestuale, si adatta e si manifesta in molteplici forme, dove l'unica costante è l'omonima rivista invariabilmente stampata in nero (talvolta in rosso) su carta grigia riciclata.
Viaindustriae, promotore del progetto, ha ospitato la prima presentazione sabato 29 aprile 2023 alle ore 18,00 presso il suo archivio di Foligno in via delle Industrie 9, proponendo uno studio editoriale, un display “antologico e anastatico” della rivista per una memoria indicizzata e completa delle edizioni. In tal modo la collezione E IL TOPO viene acquisita ed inserita nell'archivio dell'associazione nella sezione internazionale dei magazine/periodici d'artista.

Presentazioni presso: Magazzino Italian Art, Museo, Cold Spring, New York, USA; Madre, Museo, Napoli, Italia; FRAC Occitanie Montpellier; MACRO, Museo, Roma, Italia; THY LAB, Social enterprise, Hong kong; FRAC Artothèque-Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Fondo Regionale Arte Contenporaine, Limoges, Francia

After fifty-five years, Pino Pascali returns to Foligno: no longer in the bosom of the history of Palazzo Trinci where a great illuminated exhibition ("Lo Spazio dell'Immagine" 1967, curated by Giuseppe Marchiori) offered the artist the opportunity to enclose the sea in thirty square aluminium and aniline-coloured water tanks; but within the rigorous and differently seductive geometry of CIAC, the space desired and realised by the Fondazione Carifol as part of its constant and qualified commitment to contemporary art. At Palazzo Trinci Pascali confronted the natural element (water), imagining himself reflected in a sea where one day he wished to build his house. At CIAC he reverses the perspective. It is the artificial that is his point of seduction, the standard shapes and chemical colours of surprising and non-perishable objects: the "Bachi da Setola": History, as always, returns and pushes.

Performing Santa Caterina is a performing arts festival that took place in the spaces of the former Santa Caterina church in Foligno, now a cultural centre. The festival includes contemporary theatre, performance, dance, happening, interactive installation and sound projects. Viaindustriae together and La società dello spettacolo, have conceived a programme challenging the boundaries of disciplines, acting with a plurality of languages, freed from the restricted code of a genre. Artists take part in a production residency before the show. Performing Santa Caterina, part of the Foligno InContemporanea project (winner of the call for artistic residencies by the Region of Umbria) provided an international programme of productions and residencies in the performing arts branch. The editions from 2015 to 2017 saw in residence: Myriam Laplante, Filippo Marzocchi, Elisabetta Senesi, Marcella Vanzo/Cristina Abati, Isabella Bordoni.
