Giosetta Fioroni Retrospective at CAMeC La Spezia

exhibition · 2026-04-27

A major solo exhibition of Giosetta Fioroni (Rome, 1932) opened at CAMeC in La Spezia, featuring over forty works across four rooms. The show traces her career from the 1960s Argenti cycle—silver-toned canvases based on projected photographs—to later theatrical works, ceramics, and mixed-media pieces. Fioroni, the only female member of the Scuola di Piazza del Popolo, collaborated with poets and writers, notably Goffredo Parise, with whom she shared a long relationship. Her family background—father a sculptor, mother a puppeteer—inspired her Teatrini, wooden boxes with peepholes for miniature interiors. The exhibition includes works from the 1990s and 2000s, such as ceramic sculptures from Bottega Gatti in Faenza, and a lightbox portrait by Marco Delogu titled Senex (2002). The show coincides with the artist's 90th birthday and runs at CAMeC La Spezia.
