Studio65
Studio65 was founded by Franco Audrito in 1965 in Turin as a collective avant-garde experiment: a heterogeneous group of artists, photographers and aspiring filmmakers, all students of the architecture faculty of the Polytechnic University of Turin. In 1975 Audrito, his partner Athena “Nanà” Sampaniotou and his Studio65 colleagues began to participate in events and build structures in the Middle East, subsequently continuing their work in many other countries, including Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and China . Studio65 currently has offices in Turin and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
