Mimmo Jodice's metaphysical Naples documentary premieres on Sky Arte
A documentary titled 'Mimmo Jodice. Napoli metafisica' premieres on Sky Arte on Sunday, July 27. The film explores Jodice's photographic style, which captures a silent, empty Naples beyond stereotypes. It runs parallel to the exhibition 'Napoli Metafisica' at Maschio Angioino, open until September 1, where Jodice's photos are paired with paintings by Giorgio de Chirico. The documentary delves into Jodice's connection to de Chirico's metaphysical poetry, achieving a silent classicism. It also covers the castle's history and architectural layers, including the Cappella Palatina with Giotto-esque frescoes, the Aragonese Sala dei Baroni, and the triumphal arch of Alfonso V.
