There are exhibitions that make you fall in love at first sight and others that make you want to live inside a poster. The Alphonse Mucha exhibition at Palazzo Bonaparte does both. From 8 October 2025 to 8 March 2026, Rome will be transformed into the enchanted realm of Art Nouveau. This is not just […]

How often, when talking about the Renaissance, do the usual big names come to mind? Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo… yet Italy is dotted with lesser-known but extraordinary artists who deserve to be mentioned. One of these is Boccaccio Boccaccino, described by Giorgio Vasari in his famous Lives as a “rare” and “excellent painter”. A master who […]

Some interviews are special from the outset. The interview with Alice Lotti is a dialogue that spans form, colour, the city and vision. It is the voice of a designer, illustrator and street artist who has managed to combine thought and mark, aesthetics and commitment, public projects and personal research. She described her studio surrounded […]

Here we are: December has arrived with its somewhat timid light and endless to-do list, but I’m here to share the contemporary art exhibitions selected, as every month, by Alice Traforti. In this post, you’ll find only exhibitions that will make you want to linger a few minutes longer in front of a work, perhaps […]

Drawing is the first gesture. It is what a child does as soon as they pick up a pencil, what an artist does to give shape to an idea, what each of us has done at least once without even thinking about it. However, drawing is not just a tool for designing or “sketching”; it […]

There are encounters that are unforgettable, and this is one of them. Studi d’artista today opens up a special conversation with Jago, an artist who needs no introduction, but who has agreed to really listen.

If I told you that one of the most important exhibitions of the year is in Gallarate, would you believe me? Trust me: Kandinsky and Italy at the MA*GA Museum is an extraordinary journey into the beating heart of abstract art. And yes, it is definitely worth a visit. From 30 November 2025 to 12 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Have you ever dreamed of travelling through time and space to find yourself in a world made of paper, ink and visual wonder?
