From Naples to Paris – VIP Edition + Experimental Texture
1-28 September 2025
A visionary exhibition narrating my journey with an imaginary friend, from Naples to Paris, passing through cities and visions, encounters with captivating women, and nights spent in cafés of a bygone bohemian era — crossroads of artists and illustrious personalities.
The journey begins.
Pop Art and Art Déco merge into an aesthetic flow of expressionist echoes and futuristic references. A dystopian art, a three-dimensional collage in mixed media style: every element is a fragment of memory, vision, and intuition.
This is my journey.
A modern déjà vu, from Naples to Paris, with a quick greeting to the friends of Pompeii — among ruins and ancestral suggestions.
Then we set off: Naples, Rome, Pisa, Portofino… and finally Paris, the symbol of desire and creative flair.
What unites Naples and Paris?
The Café Chantant: a new way of living the theatre, attracting the public with dancers, songs, comedy sketches, and the carefree joy of a bygone time.
An itinerary that’s never ordinary, full of encounters and visions.
Among the VIPs met along the way: muses, artists, and characters that seem straight out of a vintage film.
And the women… like apparitions:
In Naples, there’s Donna Amalia: clever and mischievous eyes, embodying Neapolitan tradition with pride and sensuality.
In Pisa, Frida: naive and dreamy, her gaze fixed on a sky of illusions, still hoping for a new kind of poetry.
In Paris, Geneviève: aristocratic and snobbish, yet irresistibly sensual. As desirable as a plate of spaghetti alle vongole – mysterious, aphrodisiac, almost unreal.
In an urban setting, on a wall covered with overlapping layers of faded posters and yellowed newspapers, a passage opens.
Conceived as a contemporary trompe-l’œil, the work introduces to the viewer an environment distinct from the surrounding cityscape.
Along the path, tributes appear:
To Modigliani, with his deconstructed, sadly emotional faces.
To Leonardo, master of chiaroscuro and universal thought.
And the spirit of Andy Warhol, floating through the scenes, turning every face into an icon, every detail into art.
A sensory and temporal journey — between past and present, surface and depth.
From Rembrandt to Antonio Ligabue, from Pompeii to the Eiffel Tower – each stop is a brushstroke, each face an archetype, each moment an aesthetic revolution.
A dystopian, harmonious, intense journey.
One that pushes you to think beyond the imaginable…
Special Guest: Italo Mazzoni
An artist and researcher of visual patterns, he brought to life a unique creative symbiosis: leaves, shells, pixels, and newspaper clippings interwoven into multisensory collages that explode in a visual dance.
Three patterns and three paintings where matter becomes emotion.
An alchemical fusion between form colors and vision….
