Cosio di Arroscia is a comune Italy located about 100 km southwest of Genoa

In 1957 the French avant-garde Groupe Situationist International was founded in Cosio d'Arroscia by former members of two other avant-garde groups, the International movement for an imaginist Bauhaus (Asger Jorn, Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio a.o.) and the Lettrist International (Guy Debord a.o.).

July 28 1957

The Situationist International was formed at a meeting in the Italian village of Cosio d'Arroscia on July 28 1957 with the fusion of several extremely small artistic tendencies, which claimed to be avant-gardistes: Lettrist International, the International movement for an imaginist Bauhaus (an off-shoot of COBRA), and the London Psychogeographical Association. The groups came together intending to reawaken the radical political potential of surrealism. The group also later drew ideas from the left communist group Socialisme ou Barbarie.
