Galleria Leòn Opens in Bologna with Flemish Flair Photography Exhibition
Galleria Leòn, a new contemporary art and photography space directed by Leonardo Iuffrida, opens on December 6, 2024, near MAMbo in Bologna. The gallery focuses on authorial photography and the body as communication. Its inaugural show, Flemish Flair, runs until February 15, 2025, featuring works by Camilla Di Bella Vecchi and Marco Gualdoni. The space is divided into two rooms: one previews the exhibition and houses an archive of American male nude and queer culture photography by Bob Mizer and Bruce Bellas (Bruce of Los Angeles); the other is dedicated to emerging artists. Iuffrida, a former freelance writer and essayist on photography and masculinity, aims to create a meeting place for collectors and art lovers.
