The ENI village has been built between the late 50s and the early 60s, thanks to the political and entrepreneurial ability, the ambition and willpower of Enrico Mattei.
The architectural project has been realized by Edoardo Gellner architectfirst and foremost, in collaboration with Carlo Scarpa for some of its parts. Actually it is subject of "Progetto Borca" of Dolomiti Contemporanee.

Stefano Cagol
visited for the first time the ENI Village
in
August, 2014 together
with Gianluca d'Incà Levis,
curator of Dolomiti Contemporanee, and with Marc Augè.
One of the constant elements of Cagol's artistic
research is light. In 2013, the artist carried out his first European
tour
with The End of the Border (of the Mind). A project which was, already,
based on traveling and public sharing (public art) of an energetic
prompt towards openness, as it is for TBOE right now. As then, so today,
Stefano has included DC Dolomiti Contemporanee in his path and
motion (we could say that art is nothing more than this: paths of
energy,
motion, light). Today, heat has joined light in his work. And this heat
is
"broadcast" through colour. Thus, TBOE is a path, which gathers the heat
(metaphor for the value) of the places and the people whom he meets,
re-broadcasting their image in vital heat. This way, the great DC sites
of Borca di Cadore and Casso have both become part of the gallery
of circumfused spaces, their strenghts and energies have been reaped
and channeled together with the others. All together, they give life to
a critical mass, as powerful as a concept: and the concept is, again,
the
same: art is an energy which lays on things, revealing their heat, that
is to
say, opening their meaning.
