Fabbrica Europa

Function
Festival, Cultural Foundation

Founded in 1994 with the ambition of creating a European cultural home in Florence, Fabbrica Europa has, over thirty years, become a major hub for contemporary artistic languages. By transforming the Stazione Leopolda—a former industrial site—into a vibrant cultural space, it has pioneered international artistic exchange, building bridges between Europe and Asia, Africa, the Americas, and beyond through dance, music, theatre, interdisciplinary formats, and visual arts. Through 30 festival editions, production and training projects, and strong international collaborations, Fabbrica Europa has positioned Florence as a meeting point for diverse cultures and innovative artistic practices. The European Union has consistently supported its initiatives, from early Kaleidoscope and Culture 2000 programmes to Culture 2007–2013, recognizing its European impact. Over the years, Fabbrica Europa has led or partnered in numerous EU-funded projects exploring heritage, gesture, mobility, and cross-cultural exchange. In 2003, the Fabbrica Europa Foundation for Contemporary Arts was created, reinforcing its mission to connect creativity and production, support artists, and build collaborative cultural policies. Recognized as a regionally relevant cultural body and a Third Sector Entity (ETS) since 2022, Fabbrica Europa continues to develop international cooperation, artistic innovation, and cultural exchange at the European level.
