Studio d’arte Cannaviello is one of the most renowned and distinguished Italian galleries. It devoted its 2009/2010 art season to a situation which is known today as “The Ten Years”, and which represents a collective exposition of an informal group of young artists who emerged around the legendary gallery, and who were mainly united by their work in the context of the “free Italian style” and by the search for new imagery in the fine arts. The Bulgarian public is familiar with some of these artists, like e.g.}^Umberto^CHIODI^{who had a solo exhibition in the National Gallery in 2008. In 2009, a large group of young artists from Palermo, Sicily, presented a large exhibition entitled “Babylon, Palermo, Babylon” in the Rayko Alexiev Gallery in Sofia.}^{Stefano CUMIA}^{, one of “The Ten”, participated in it.}^{Along with}^Umberto^CHIODI^and^{Stefano CUMIA}^,^{Davide ZUCCO}^{, Nicola Felice Torcoli,}^{Emilia CASTIONI}^,^{Tommaso GORLA}^,^{Maurizio BONGIOVANNI}^,^{Gabriele BRUCCERI}^{, Tiziano}^MARTINI^,^{Enrico MINGUZZI}^,^{Marta SESANA}^and^{Silvia IDILI}^{in also participate in the “Ten Years” project.}^{Prof. Enzo Cannaviello, Director of Studio d’arte Cannaviello, will be special guest at the opening of the exhibition. In his capacity as founder of Studio d’arte Cannaviello, art critic, curator, gallerist, and as a person who built an indisputable bridge between generations of European artists, Prof. Enzo Cannaviello played a major role. His professional quest and his achievements pertain to the area of representing artists in the market through the challenging language of contemporary art.
