A group exhibition titled 'Free Free Palestine. Artisti per Gaza' is on view at TRAleVOLTE in Rome, curated by Roberto Gramiccia. The show features 23 artists primarily active in Rome, with a notable majority of female participants. The exhibition includes a 2023 work by Ennio Calabria, 'Tutto bene!', described as raw and effective, serving as a tribute to the recently deceased socially engaged artist. Other participating artists include Giulia Napoleone, Francesca Ciaula, Stefania Fabrizi, Alessandra Giovannoni, Silvia Stucky, Gianni Dessì, Ennio Alfani, and Michele De Luca. The curator explicitly frames the exhibition as politically engaged, referencing recent street demonstrations supporting the Flotilla and rising social movements. The venue is located in a spiritually charged area between the basilicas of Santa Maria Maggiore, San Giovanni in Laterano, and Santa Croce in Gerusalemme. The exhibition runs in November 2025.
