On October 23rd, 2025, the city of Parma will host the first edition of the Pink Tie Ball — a prestigious Charity Gala organized by Komen Italia to unite companies, institutions, and supporters in an elegant and meaningful evening dedicated to solidarity and awareness.
The event forms part of the national campaign “Prevention is Our Masterpiece”, promoted in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Culture, which aims to raise public awareness about the importance of breast cancer prevention and to support scientific research throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Set in the magnificent Voltoni del Guazzatoio within the Pilotta Monumental Complex, illuminated in pink for the occasion, the Gala promises an unforgettable atmosphere of art, generosity, and purpose.
As part of this special event, Oblong Contemporary Gallery is honored to curate a charity art auction featuring works by renowned international artists, including Gustavo Vélez, celebrated for his dynamic marble and bronze sculptures; Sophia Vari, known for her timeless compositions; Sauro Cavallini, whose works embody expressive strength and harmony; Flavio Lucchini, a visionary in contemporary art and fashion; Marco Host, whose creations invite reflection and emotion; and Silvia della Rocca, whose artistry inspires through color and form.
The auction offers not only the chance to acquire exceptional artworks of great artistic value, but also the opportunity to contribute to a noble cause — supporting research, awareness, and hope for women everywhere.
Join us in supporting this important initiative, where art becomes a powerful symbol of compassion, beauty, and social responsibility.
