Simóndi Gallery Moves to Renaissance Palazzo Scaglia di Verrua in Turin
Francesca Simóndi's art gallery is relocating from its current location on via della Rocca to the historic Palazzo Scaglia di Verrua in Turin. This new site aims to harmonize the gallery's identity with its artistic ambitions. The opening exhibition will showcase pieces by renowned artists including Botto&Bruno, Paola de Pietri, and Emily Jacir, among others. Simóndi admires the palace's garden and inviting environment, which she feels enhance the overall art experience. She plans to maintain participation in international art fairs, focusing on themes such as sound, earth, and light, while addressing significant contemporary challenges.
