Andrea Musto's exhibition titled "SAFE" Nessuno si salva da solo will be held at Spazio MU.RO in Milan from September 22 to October 4, 2026.

Musto's artwork reflects human anguish, portraying bodies, children, and fragments of humanity. It juxtaposes lives affected by violence against those in sheltered, secure environments.
