SoggiornaFrom 10 October 2026 to 29 March 2027 CAMeC in La Spezia presents an exhibition on Francesco Clemente, "Il primato del disegno. Opere 1975-1985". Born in Naples in 1952, Clemente is one of the leading figures of international contemporary art and a key member of the Italian Transavanguardia theorised by Achille Bonito Oliva: in the Eighties he led the return to figurative painting with Sandro Chia and Enzo Cucchi. After a period between Rome and India he moved to New York, where he formed ties with Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. His work, across painting, drawing and fresco, explores the body, identity and the sacred in a visionary and symbolic language. The show is part of the project "Oltreconfine. Arte italiana 1968-1989".

Useful guides
To plan your visit
La Spezia in two days: an itinerary that allows for where you will actually go
Almost nobody spends two days in La Spezia: they spend them in the Cinque Terre and around the gulf, sleeping here. An honest itinerary starts from that.
La Spezia with Kids: The Advantage Is That It’s Not a Village
With children, what makes La Spezia convenient is exactly why it gets overlooked: it’s a normal, flat city with open pharmacies and no staircases.
Beaches in La Spezia: There are none in the city, and it is best to know this beforehand
La Spezia has a gulf full of beaches but none within the municipality. This is not a flaw: it is the consequence of having a military arsenal instead of a seafront promenade.
What to see in La Spezia: one street, and three things on it
Almost everything worth seeing in La Spezia is along a pedestrian street, or just above it. This is the advantage of a city built by design rather than grown randomly.
