Our perspective is to create a lasting and widespread event.

Main theme
outskirts & Suburbs
Outskirts and suburbs: these are the themes of the first edition of Short Out Festival.
The enhancement of peripheral spaces is a central topic to explore expanding territories and with the purpose of understand an urban context that invests in centralization.
In the margins lives an unexpressed or not yet explored artistic lymph and the desire is to bring it to light, starting from Lainate, on the edge of the metropolitan city of Milan.

Villa Borromeo Visconti Litta, a villa of delights where art, history and entertainment leave the visitor enchanted by such beauty for the variety of mosaics, statues, frescoes, fountains and water features.

The Count had the gardens created and the Palazzo delle Acque, more commonly known as the Nymphaeum, built. The residence became the scene of grandiose parties and receptions, but also an important meeting place for artists and intellectuals.
