Caretto & Occhinegro Opens New Space in Colonna Resort
Turin-based gallery Caretto & Occhinegro, a leader in Old Master paintings and Nordic schools, opens a new venue at the Colonna Resort in Labico, near Rome. The resort, owned by Michelin-starred chef Antonello Colonna and designed by Aniello/Tasca, will host a permanent gallery space dedicated to slow, appointment-only viewing. The gallery aims to counter the fast-paced art market by encouraging visits combined with stays at the resort. The inaugural exhibition, 'Apeiron,' features four paintings from 1480–1540 exploring metaphysical and religious themes, including the relationship between human and divine. The show references Anaximander's concept of the indefinite, and touches on figures like Erasmus, Luther, Charles V, and Hieronymus Bosch. A catalog curated by Massimiliano Caretto and Francesco Occhinegro accompanies the exhibition. The project blends antique art, contemporary architecture, hospitality, and landscape.
