Bianco-Valente's 'Nessuno escluso' Installed at Naples Entrance
On November 11, 2020, the artistic duo Bianco-Valente unveiled 'Nessuno escluso' (No One Excluded) at the rotunda on Via Marina in Naples. This installation, crafted from painted iron letters, acts as both a manifesto and a welcoming sign, contributing to a municipal road redevelopment initiative that gained importance amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 1994, artists Giovanna Bianco (born 1962) and Pino Valente (born 1967) have focused on fostering dialogue among various communities. Their artistic journey over 25 years delves into the duality of body and mind, engaging communities through large-scale works. Notable previous projects include 'Il Mare non bagna Napoli' (2015) and 'Misuro il Tempo' (2019), alongside their publication 'Il libro delle immagini', which features collective photographic storytelling.
