Nunzio's 'In clamorosa quiete' Opens at Lorenzelli Arte, Milan

Lorenzelli Arte in Milan has inaugurated its 2026 program with 'Nunzio. In clamorosa quiete,' a solo exhibition curated by Luca Massimo Barbero and Matteo Lorenzelli. Running until May 8 at Corso Buenos Aires 2, the show presents over forty works spanning more than four decades of Nunzio Di Stefano's career, from the early 1980s to recent production. Materials include lead, charred wood, plaster, and charcoal on Japanese paper, all employed without decorative function. Three plaster works—'Scudo' (1983), 'Re dei Re' and 'Confine' (1985)—from Matteo Lorenzelli's private collection are rarely exhibited publicly. Also featured is 'Oblio' and a 1986 piece in lead and burnt wood over 2.7 meters tall. The exhibition is accompanied by a 250-page trilingual monograph with over sixty color reproductions and archival images. The title 'In clamorosa quiete' originates from Barbero's 1996 critical text for Nunzio's solo show at Galleria Cinquetti in Verona, describing a 'clamorous silence.' Lorenzelli Arte, founded in Bergamo in 1956 by Bruno Lorenzelli and led by Matteo Lorenzelli for over thirty years, has relationships with MoMA New York, Centre Pompidou Paris, Peggy Guggenheim Collection Venice, and Tate London.
