Trullo Ulìa in Ostuni Hosts Pacifico Silano's 'Sun-kissed, Red Soil, Salt Skin'

In 2026, the exhibition 'Sun-kissed, Red Soil, Salt Skin' by American artist Pacifico Silano will take place at Trullo Ulìa in Ostuni, Puglia. This initiative, established by Michele Spinelli and designed by architect Simone Esposito, follows previous exhibits such as Davide Sgambaro's firecracker installation, which was acquired by Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo after Artissima 2025, as well as works by Remo Salvadori and Giovanni Oberti. Silano, who has Sicilian heritage, delves into the aesthetics of American pornography from the 1970s and 1980s, depicting vulnerable male figures in mundane settings. Trullo Ulìa aspires to serve as a cultural center, engaging with local architecture and examining the interplay between cultural initiatives and tourism.
