Antonio Miccichè's 'Stagioni di caccia' Opens at Officine Bellotti in Palermo

exhibition · 2026-04-26

A new showcase featuring Antonio Miccichè, who was born in 1966 in San Giuseppe Jato, has been launched at Officine Bellotti, an arts venue established by Lucio Garau, Manuela Plaja, and Rossella Giordano in Palermo. Curated by Sergio Troisi, the exhibition displays 63 drawings across two industrial spaces that previously belonged to the De Magistris-Bellotti stationery firm. The highlight series, 'Stagioni di caccia,' delves into themes of nostos and was produced after Miccichè's sabbatical from his teaching role in Turin in 2022. Additional series include 'Diario d'inverno,' which illustrates Venice, and 'Days Hospital,' reflecting his experiences during the lockdown in March 2020. A unique installation, 'Senza titolo (2025),' showcases terracotta sculptures that symbolize solitude. The exhibition is ongoing at Officine Bellotti.
