Katy Castellucci's Quiet Counter-Narrative to Fascist Rhetoric at Palazzo Ricci
There's an exhibition called 'Interni sottovoce. Katy Castellucci a Roma' happening right now at Palazzo Ricci in Macerata. It's put together by curators Roberto Cresti and Paolo Serafini, showcasing around fifty pieces, including both paintings and drawings by Katy Castellucci, who was born in Laglio in 1905 and passed away in Rome in 1985. As part of the Scuola Romana, her unique style stood out against the grand themes typical of Fascist-era art, focusing instead on everyday life and personal concerns. The show opened on July 8, 2026, and will run until September 13, 2026, providing a reflective look at her work. You can find it at Palazzo Ricci, Via Domenico Ricci, 1.
