Pietro Terzini's Neon and Louis Vuitton Bags Invade San Sepolcro Crypt

Pietro Terzini (Lodi, 1990), an artist with a background in architecture and fashion campaigns, has created a site-specific project in the Crypt of San Sepolcro, marking the second time in a year the space has hosted contemporary interventions. Organized by the Veneranda Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, the exhibition aims to attract younger audiences. Terzini's works feature neon phrases and flattened iconic paper bags, notably Louis Vuitton orange, as canvases for provocative texts that encourage reflection on contemporary myths and communication. The show is free and uncurated, with Antonello Grimaldi, head of the Ambrosiana, acting as an improvised curator, stating that Terzini, as a living artist, needs no external curation. The exhibition includes homages to the Ambrosiana (a reinterpretation of Caravaggio's Basket of Fruit) and to Milan (the Madonnina). Terzini's practice centers on words, often deployed on social media and various surfaces, aiming to jolt viewers into present-moment awareness without judgment.
