Raffaella Cortese successfully sold Francesco Arena's bronze swing titled 'Altalena' and observed significant engagement. Mazzoleni moved two light sculptures by Marinella Senatore along with pieces by Andrea Francolino and Salvatore Astore. After a hiatus in 2023, 10 A.M. ART provided unfavorable reviews. Robilant + Voena showcased works by Stephen Appleby-Barr and others, with notable interest in Cesar Santos.
