Giovanni Ozzola's 'Il Cielo Dentro' Exhibition at Galleria Continua in Rome Explores Celestial Metaphors
In 2026, Giovanni Ozzola unveils his exhibition 'Il Cielo Dentro' at the Galleria Continua located in The St. Regis hotel in Rome. Born in 1982 in Florence, Ozzola reimagines spaces with heavenly visuals, delving into the sky as both an external boundary and an internal psychological landscape. His artwork serves as gateways for reflection, harmonizing contrasting elements through illumination. Ozzola’s work carries both political and poetic significance, utilizing derelict buildings as 'bunkers' for refuge and escape. The exhibition showcases expansive installations alongside smaller pieces, including the 'Temporary structures' series from 2025 and the 2026 sculpture 'Appunti senza parole'. Influenced by Beato Angelico and his 2025 Quadriennale installation, Ozzola’s work was captured by photographer Giorgio Benni, with coverage by Ludovica Palmieri in Artribune.
