Steve McCurry: il fotografo che ha dato un volto al mondo

If, like me, you have ever had the feeling that a photograph could speak to you — without words, but with all the power of humanity — then you have already encountered Steve McCurry. You may not know it, but you have known him forever. You know his eyes. In fact, you know the most […]

Giacomo Balla, a universe of light in Parma

Have you ever seen light transform into shape, colour and energy? If the answer is no (or not really), then I recommend a must-see exhibition: Giacomo Balla. A Universe of Light, the major exhibition held in Parma, in the elegant rooms of the Palazzo del Governatore, from 10 October 2025 to 1 February 2026. This […]

Mario Stefano and art that resists the digital image – ARTIST’S STUDIOS

In an age where everything moves quickly — images, scrolls, digital content — artist Mario Stefano chooses slowness. His paintings are not shown in their entirety on social media, nor are they captured on a screen: they are experienced live, breathed in up close. In this new interview for Studi d’artista, Mario Stefano tells us […]

Massimo Scolari: the architect of dreams between archetypes and mountains

Painter, architect, designer, theorist: Massimo Scolari (Novi Ligure, 1943) is one of those figures who defies definition. A professor at the IUAV University of Venice from 1973 to 2000 and visiting professor at Harvard, Yale and the Cooper Union in New York, he has trained generations of architects, leaving a profound mark also as an […]

After our journey through the wooden works of Martalar in the mountains of northern Italy (read the interview here), we return to the south to meet another artist deeply connected to his land: Mauro Patta.

Contemporary art: exhibitions not to be missed in NOVEMBER 2025

November is the perfect month to visit an art gallery: outside, the days are shorter, but inside, ideas come to life. This month, contemporary art speaks with the voice of words (Isgrò), with that of nameless faces (Öğüt), with the lightness of paper (Manzo), with the breath of the mountains (Scolari) and with the impossible […]

In the province of Cuneo, two unmissable exhibitions await you, revealing the secrets, provocations, and wonders of fashion photography as seen through the eyes and lenses of two giants: Helmut Newton and Ferdinando Scianna. Helmut Newton and Ferdinando […]

Giotto and the stories of St. Francis in Assisi

There are works of art that strike you with their beauty and others that take your breath away because you know you are looking at something that changed the world. The Stories of St. Francis frescoed by Giotto in the Upper Basilica of Assisi are both. I will never forget the first time I looked […]

Giacomo Balla and the dynamism of a dog on a leash: when art runs fast

If you have ever taken a photo while moving and ended up with a blurred trail, you may have unwittingly captured the essence of an entire artistic revolution. It was precisely there, in that simple, everyday gesture, that Giacomo Balla found the inspiration for one of the most striking paintings of Futurism: “Dynamism of a […]
