Exhibitions Italy

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 […]

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 […]

Have you ever dreamed of travelling through time and space to find yourself in a world made of paper, ink and visual wonder? If the answer is yes, then I have just the exhibition for you: Graphic Japan. From Hokusai to Manga. From 20 November 2025 to 6 April 2026, the Civic Archaeological Museum of […]

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 […]

October is one of the best months to visit exhibitions: the air becomes crisp, cities fill with cultural events, and museums open their doors to new exhibitions. Once again this year, the Italian autumn offers a rich panorama, with established artists and young voices recounting the present through different languages, from painting to photography, from […]

Have you ever had the feeling that reality is just one of many possible planes of existence?

What if I told you that the sea, the land, and the light of Tuscany are about to tell you an extraordinary story? A story of golden fields, faces marked by hard work, spirited horses, and skies that seem endless. This story has a specific name: Giovanni Fattori. This year, 200 years after his birth, […]

August, as we all know, is the month for light suitcases and slightly freer minds. But if, between dips in the pool and granitas, you feel the urge to feed your eyes (and your spirit), here are five contemporary art exhibitions around Italy that are really worth seeing. No rankings, no “must-sees” at all costs. […]

For the first time ever, I visited an exhibition and had a strange feeling: the works were watching me! No, I’m not joking, it really happened to me at Punta della Dogana when I saw Thomas Schütte’s exhibition: Genealogies. This is the highly anticipated retrospective dedicated to one of the most irreverent and original artists […]

If you haven’t planned a visit to Venice in the coming months, take my advice as a friend: do something about it right away. And not just for the gondolas or sunsets on the Grand Canal, but for an unmissable event on the island of San Giorgio. At the Stanze della Fotografia, from 10 April […]
