Ceccobelli Family Exhibition at Todi Festival: Bruno, Auro, and Celso

exhibition · 2026-05-04

The 2018 Todi Festival featured two interconnected installations by Bruno Ceccobelli and his twin sons Auro and Celso. Bruno's solo exhibition 'T'ODI' occupied the Sala delle Pietre in Palazzo del Popolo, presenting 30 works from 1984 to 2018 on a raised catwalk over a sand canvas. The title is a pun on Todi and 'odi' (you hate), reflecting his introspective practice. Since the late 1970s, Ceccobelli has pursued a symbolic, mystical art, rejecting trends. His sons exhibited 'motoreuniversale' at the Nido dell'Aquila, with four sound sculptures made from scrap materials and remnants of their father's works, integrating natural sounds. The Ceccobellis have been active since 2001, working in ceramics and resin fibers. The festival's official poster, featuring painted wooden feet on audio wheels, was created by Auro and Celso.
