The first edition, promoted by a restricted number of Municipalities, with the support of Regione Toscana (the Tuscany Region) and Provincia di Firenze (the Province of Florence), presented a group of artists who had elected the Chianti region, or at least Tuscany, as the place to live or work in. Each of them had chosen a place, generally an historical site, to install their own works of art giving birth to an interesting touristic- cultural itinerary into the Greve in Chianti area.
Participating artists: Paul Blanchard, Clegg& Guttmann, Pietro Consagra, Jan Dibbets, Gidon Graetz, Joseph Kosuth, Jannis Kounellis, Leo Lionni, Luigi Mainolfi, Heinrich Nicholaus, Giò Pomodoro, Joe Tilson, Antonio Trotta, Betty Woodman. 

After the success of the first edition, the following year the exhibition had been re-proposed in the extended Chianti area, Florentine and Senese, and, apart from the newly recruited municipalities, the project was supported by the Provincia di Siena and also by the APT (promotional tourist Agency) of Florence and Siena because of the important cultural and touristic aspect of the event.
Participating artists: Karel Appel, Stefano Arienti, Joseph Beuys, Sandro Chia, Sol Lewitt, Mario Merz, Maurizio Nannucci, Anne & Patrick Poirer, Mauro Staccioli, Studio Azzurro.

Starting from this edition there will be an important innovation with the introduction of a section dedicated to the young local artists called "innesti DOC", curated by Bona Baraldi: artists under 35 resident or active in this area are selected and asked to confront themselves with a site-specific work. This section take place at Panzano in Chianti, town equidistant between Florence and Siena and therefore the ideal conjunction between the Florentine and the Senese Chianti.
 

The third edition of Tuscia Electa presented aspects of continuity with the preceding editions but also innovative elements.
As in the previous years, the artists installed their own works in some historical and countryside sites in Chianti, creating a step-by-step itinerary where each installation represented an autonomous event, complete in itself.
Moreover during the entire opening period of the exhibition, concerts, performances and readings took place in all the territory involved. Having confirmed and widened the cooperation with the Regione and Province, from this edition on, all the Municipalities of the Chianti area have been involved giving their decided participation together with the City of Florence and a collaboration that remains at an embryonic stage with the City of Siena.
Participating artists: Antoni Abad, Bruno Benuzzi, Christian Boltansky, Nicola Carrino, Cuoghi & Corsello, Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta, Eliseo Mattiacci, Mario Merz, Hidetoshi Nagasawa, Max Neuhaus, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Tung-Lu Hung, Bill Viola.
 

This year's edition will concentrate on some of the key spaces within the individual communities to be seen in squares and main streets of these seven municipalities. The intention is to create specific works to be placed at "cross-roads", both physical and psychological, conceived as interfering elements in daily life which may, with their presence, redesign their host context.
Apart from these installations, the project provides for the realisation of open spaces and gardens which are not exclusively poles of attraction for the exhibition public but which can become, with time, places which may be really lived in and frequented by local inhabitants as well as occasional visitors.
