Group Show at Galleria Poggiali in Florence Explores 20th-Century Human Condition

A group exhibition at Galleria Poggiali in Florence brings together works from Arte Povera artists Mattiacci and Parmiggiani, Transavanguardia exponent Enzo Cucchi, and hyper-realist sculptor Fabio Viale. The show reflects on the human condition in the second half of the 20th century through a selection of sober yet conceptually profound works that engage with universal themes of time, space, and infinity. Materials such as marble, paper, wood, and wax are combined in a journey that testifies to human ingenuity and visionary potential. Virginia Zanetti presents a neo-humanistic perspective, positioning the individual as the pillar of earthly reality, while Luigi Ghirri's photographs evoke a sense of atavistic solitude. Pignatelli pays homage to classical Greece, and Roberto Barni, with his iconic Viandante, reaches back to Diogenes, capturing the difficult search for meaning. The exhibition is curated by Niccolò Lucarelli, who also wrote the text.
