The village with painted doors
Valloria is a medieval village of the “Vallis Aurea”, a name that derives from the color of olive oil, cultivated here for centuries. In the tiny alleys, called “carruggi”, peasant history marries art: around the nineties the Amici di Valloria association conceived an annual event in which several artists are assigned as many doors to be transformed into unique works. Today the village is considered an ever-changing open-air art gallery.
