Luca Marcelli Pitzalis presents 'Corrispondenze Vol. I' at Palazzo Braschi in Rome

Luca Marcelli Pitzalis (Cagliari, 1995; lives and works in Rome) presented 'Corrispondenze Vol. I' at Palazzo Braschi in Rome as part of Quotidiana, an exhibition program on Italian art promoted by the Quadriennale di Roma and Roma Capitale – Assessorato alla Cultura. The work consists of a curated selection of emails from a year-long newsletter project titled 'Corrispondenze,' which Pitzalis sent every two Wednesdays at 10:00 PM to subscribers. The emails, intimate and confessional in tone, invited recipients to reply. For the exhibition, Pitzalis selected letters from the exchange, removing unnecessary parts and sender details while preserving the original email layout. The project explores how technology, specifically the newsletter format, can foster deep human connection by removing performance anxiety and allowing time for introspection. The exhibition highlights the human need for vulnerability and self-disclosure, even among strangers. The work was presented at the Portfolio session of Quotidiana. The article includes quotes from the artist reflecting on the fusion of art and life.
