Raffaele Capparelli's 'Come si racconta l'arte': A Guide to Modern Art Journalism

In 2026, Raffaele Capparelli released 'Come si racconta l'arte,' a 144-page volume published by Pacini Editore, retailing for 15 euros. This work emerged from training initiatives backed by the Order of Journalists of Tuscany and Fondazione OdG Toscana. It includes fourteen interviews with cultural figures from notable institutions such as Palazzo Strozzi, Palazzo Blu, Centro Pecci, and MACCA. Capparelli emphasizes the need for art storytelling to bridge the gap between the intricacies of the artwork, the artist's intent, and the audience's comprehension. He addresses the challenges faced by cultural journalists, including accessibility and copyright issues, while viewing AI as a research aid that cannot grasp an artwork's essence. Additionally, the book examines the role of museums in cultural diplomacy. An interview with Capparelli conducted by Ginevra Barbetti is featured in Artribune.
