Fabrizio Sannicandro's 'Vite' at Abbazia di Propezzano

Fabrizio Sannicandro (Teramo, 1965) presents 'Vite', a solo exhibition at the Abbazia di Propezzano in Morro d'Oro, curated by psychologist Ilaria Ponzi. The show transforms letters, stories, and poems from anonymous interlocutors into a polyphonic visual tapestry. It opens with 'Segni di vite' (2021), a large mosaic of 48 cards translating these writings. A studiolo displays the original letters and confessions, such as 'I understood that my greatest fear is abandonment.' Monumental canvases freeze lived moments, evoking Baroque masters like Guido Reni, as well as modern artists Sironi, Capogrossi (1930s), and Renato Guttuso. Works like 'Vicinanza' (2021) recall Francesco Hayez's 'El beso' (1859) and René Magritte's 'Les Amants' (1928). The exhibition runs at the abbey, with around 35 canvases exploring the shift from word to image, creating a communal foundation of shared experiences.
