Sergio Goglia's 'Human Faces – Art for Life' Opens at Maschio Angioino in Naples
The photography exhibition 'Human Faces – Art for Life' by Sergio Goglia is currently on display at Maschio Angioino in Naples, running until October 9, 2025. It will then move to Hotel Santa Lucia from October 16 to 25, before embarking on a tour both nationally and internationally. This initiative, created by Ludovico Lieto and curated by Valeria Viscione, is backed by the Comune di Napoli to advocate for cancer prevention and research. The collection showcases portraits of notable figures such as Roberto Bolle, Carolyn Smith, and Ferzan Ozpetek. Goglia employs provocative materials that challenge conventional portraiture, while collaborating with Dr. Michelino De Laurentiis from Istituto Nazionale Tumori 'Fondazione Pascale' to position art as a bio-ethical tool for care and prevention.
