Terni's Aurelio De Felice Exhibition Space Opens with InNaturalia Show Managed by High School Students
On April 10, the InNaturalia exhibition debuted at the Aurelio De Felice Exhibition Space in Terni, showcasing the works of Valerio Belloni, Anja Capocci, Franco Passalacqua, and Meri Tancredi. This contemporary art venue, affiliated with the Metelli Art High School, functions as both an artistic space and an educational laboratory, with curatorial guidance from students and faculty. The exhibition, which will be on display until May 9, examines the impact of human activities on nature through diverse artistic mediums. Belloni, born in 1978, offers live sound performances; Capocci, born in 1988, merges painting and film; Passalacqua, born in 1950, applies traditional methods to metal; and Tancredi, born in 1976, explores boundaries using natural materials. The Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio oversaw the space's restoration.
