Franca Ghitti's Secret Alphabets at Museo di Santa Giulia

exhibition · 2026-06-19

The Museo di Santa Giulia in Brescia presents a new exhibition dedicated to Franca Ghitti, a key figure in 20th-century Italian sculpture. The show focuses on her 'secret alphabets'—a series of works exploring symbolic and abstract languages through carved wood and metal. Ghitti, known for her research into primitive signs and urban archaeology, created pieces that blend personal iconography with collective memory. The exhibition includes sculptures, reliefs, and drawings from different periods of her career, highlighting her unique contribution to postwar Italian art. It runs until late 2025.
