The Family office confirms its support to Artissima, promoting, during the Turin art week, a series of initiatives dedicated to art and economics.
On Saturday, November 1, the Tosetti Value Photography Award will be awarded to the artist whose photographic work is considered most effective in understanding the current socio-historical and economic situation. The Prize, now in its sixth edition, establishes a dialogue with “Perspectives. The economy of images”, a project on contemporary photography that began in 2014, curated by Tosetti Value per l’Arte with the objective of fostering debate and reflection on our globalized world through exhibitions and talks, in synergy with the economic research conducted by Family office.
Always as part of the Project “Perspectives. The Economy of Images,” the talk The Journey. Geographies of the Imagination will be held on Saturday, November 1 at 12:30 p.m. at the Fair Meeting Point.

A block of marble, instead of becoming a monument, takes to the sea and turns into a story. With The Journey by Rossella Biscotti, the Mediterranean becomes an invisible orchestra: not a boundary, but a space of voices, relationships, and possibilities. The artist speaks with geographer Franco Farinelli, in a dialogue moderated by Lucrezia Cippitelli, to imagine how art can offer hope by transforming objects into narratives and borders into visions.
The 32nd edition of Artissima, will be held from thursday October 30 to sunday November 2, 2025, under the Direction of Luigi Fassi and will feature the participation of 176 Italian and international galleries, including 63 monographic projects.
Director Luigi Fassi comments: “What social enrichment do institutional and private collecting represent, and what urgencies and expectations do we associate with the emotion of an immediate encounter with art? The 2025 edition of Artissima will seek to answer these questions through the focal point where the Italian contemporary art market intersects with the international scene, fostering collecting that is attentive to research and a critical, curatorial vision capable of continuous evolution. During the days of Artissima, the Italian system — represented by galleries, museums, foundations, collectors, and publishing — will draw new energy to evolve and imagine the future of art, thanks to its interaction with the actors of the European and global art scene converging in Torino. Once again, Artissima confirms itself as the fair of choice for curators, directors of institutions and museums from around the world, engaged in various ways in its program and in the experience it offers. Artissima is driven by a passion for its territory, and its vitality and innovative strength will continue to resonate throughout the city thanks to the intense and unprecedented collaborations established with numerous public and private institutions. Torino lives through art, and Artissima is the metronome of the city’s most powerful autumnal emotion.”
The theme of Artissima 2025 is Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, inspired by the eclectic figure of Richard Buckminster Fuller and his iconic 1969 book of the same name (edition by Il Saggiatore). For the fourth consecutive year, Artissima draws inspiration from a visionary thinker to spark a collective reflection. Through art, its community, and the plurality of its languages, the fair aims to provide tools to interpret and navigate the complexities of the present.
