Pietro Roccasalva's First Milan Solo Exhibition at Galleria Massimo De Carlo Explores Memory and Vision

Pietro Roccasalva is having his first solo show at Galleria Massimo De Carlo in Milan, running from March 5 to April 19, 2026. The exhibition, called 'Io ti saluto, luce, ma con nervi offesi,' features a mix of personal stories and cultural references. Notable pieces include a reinterpretation of his mother with significant objects and child figures inspired by his daughter, depicted with hauntingly deep eyes. The 'Il Bravo' series showcases works like 'The Envy Spirit Looks at the Sun Sideways' and 'Ventriloquist,' which creatively reinterpret Heinrich Hoffmann’s Struwwelpeter. Set in Piero Portaluppi's rationalist space at Viale Lombardia 17, the art employs rich reds, blacks, and browns against white. The title comes from Ben Jonson's 1601 play 'The Poetaster,' reflecting Roccasalva's distinctive style that weaves together diverse cultural threads.
