Giulia Neri's Illustrations in a Historic Milanese Print Shop

exhibition · 2026-04-27

Giulia Neri (Bologna, 1979) presents around fifty illustrations at Tipografia dei Fratelli Bonvini, a historic print shop in Milan near Fondazione Prada. The shop, which has operated continuously for over a century, provides an intimate setting for Neri's digital-to-print works. Her dual background in Fine Arts and Psychology informs her ability to capture common human emotions. The exhibition is organized thematically: nature (flowers, trees, insects, leaves), lightness (birds, dragonflies, floating figures), and everyday life (sports, hobbies, romantic moments). Each drawing corresponds to a specific inner state, with captions aiding interpretation, though many viewers find the stories universally familiar. Neri currently lives and works in the Dolomites. The exhibition is on the first floor of the print shop, away from the ground-floor customer area.
