Filippo Riniolo's 'I latitanti sono loro' at Casa Vuota in Rome
Casa Vuota, an exhibition space in Rome's Quadraro district, presents 'I latitanti sono loro', a solo show by Filippo Riniolo (born 1986, Milan), curated by Francesco Paolo Del Re and Sabino de Nichilo. The exhibition title references Fabrizio de André's song 'Il bombarolo' and explores global terrorism by subverting imagery of world leaders. Riniolo depicts nine heads of state and military leaders, including Turkey's Erdogan, Russia's Putin, Queen Elizabeth II, and Italy's Sergio Mattarella, armed with pistols, challenging perceptions of violence. The Quadraro neighborhood has a history tied to anti-fascist resistance during WWII and later served as a base for the Red Brigades in the late 1990s. Casa Vuota is located on Via Di Maia, the same street where the Red Brigades once operated. The exhibition runs until October 31.
