VIAINDUSTRIAE is a cultural association and publishing house, a cultural industry based in the space of a former clothing factory now converted into offices, contemporary arts research center, exhibition space and publishing house. Established as a non-profit association, since its foundation in 2005 Viaindustriae promotes territorial projects and artistic research in the landscape. It operates through the social-critical design method, which establishes forms and spaces of participatory architecture in a continuous dialogue between the humanistic-creative disciplines. Viaindustriae designs museographic displays, site-specific installations, public actions and proposes programs and planning of territory between architecture and local culture. Manufatto in situ, for example, is a workshop / artistic residency, a ten-year program through which the organization promotes a model of architectural-landscape intervention in which art intervenes to integrate itself between nature and the city.

Since 2008, Viaindustriae is producing a series of practical open-air structures (practical structures or platforms) applied in both central and marginal urban areas, with a series of exhibitions and interactive installations involving local, national and international artists through project rooms and residencies, but also willing to involve the inhabitants. VIAINDUSTRIAE consists of architects, designers, artists and researchers, who collectively try to deal with contemporary languages, creativity and new forms of communication, developing projects that interact with the social fabric and the community. An integral part of the programs is the editorial section, with its publications of various formats. VIANDUSTRIAE publishing general catalog contains the sections dedicated to bibliographic and territorial / regional archiving, art and artist books and the landscape.
