Piero Gemelli's 'La Bellezza svelata' at PAN Naples

The exhibition 'La Bellezza svelata' at the PAN | Palazzo delle Arti Napoli showcases a retrospective of Piero Gemelli, born in Rome in 1952. Curated by Maria Savarese in partnership with Maria Vittoria Baravelli, the display highlights Gemelli's journey from his architectural roots in Milan to his role as a photographer for renowned brands such as Gucci, Ferré, Tiffany, and Lancôme. It includes drawings, photographs, and wire sculptures that recreate his studio, examining the relationship between reality and imagination. Simultaneously, the book 'Piero Gemelli, fotografia e storie immaginate' (Editori Paparo, edited by Baravelli) features insights from various contributors. Natalia Aspesi characterized Gemelli as an architect turned sculptor, using photography to showcase his creative visions. The exhibition spans from the 1970s to the present.
