Parallel to his artistic practice, Benetti has developed a substantial and internationally oriented curatorial activity. This vision took concrete form with the creation of Atelier Quindici, a curatorial and artistic platform that brings together fifteen internationally recognized contemporary artists within a shared space of dialogue, experimentation, and research. The project is built on Benetti’s curatorial intuition: artists who had not previously worked together are brought into a common field of exchange, forming a transnational nucleus devoted to the development of joint projects and long-term artistic collaboration.

In 2009, on the occasion of the centenary of Futurism, Benetti also conceived and produced the editorial and artistic project Esplorazione inconsueta all’interno della velocità, a limited-edition collector’s book dedicated to the philosophical and visual exploration of speed as a defining force of modernity. The volume brings together twelve original artworks and essays by university professors, faculty deans, and the then Director of Johns Hopkins University, reflecting on the impact of speed across different fields of knowledge.

Within this broader trajectory of artistic research and curatorial construction, Art Stop War was later conceived as a specific thematic extension of Benetti’s work. Rooted in the same anthropological attention to image and sign, the project focuses on the role of art as a space of encounter for artists from conflict-affected regions, reaffirming the capacity of artistic practice to generate dialogue, responsibility, and shared vision beyond political and ideological divisions.
