Raffaello Galiotto's 'Axis Mundi' at Museo Lapidario Maffeiano in Verona

Raffaello Galiotto (Chiampo, 1967) presents 'Axis Mundi', a solo exhibition at the Museo Lapidario Maffeiano in Verona, open until October 12. Curated by philosopher Alfonso Cariolato, the show transforms the museum's courtyard into a stage where thirteen stone sculptures create a dialogue between past and present. The works are distributed across four grassy areas divided by a cross-shaped stone path, designed to soften the architectural rigor. Galiotto, a designer and artist, explores the expressive potential of stone through experimental technology, informed by his background in painting. The exhibition is part of the collateral events of ArtVerona, in collaboration with Marmomac, the marble and natural stone fair. Curator Cariolato describes the installation as provoking a reciprocal expropriation between contemporary art and ancient ruins, challenging the notion of contemporaneity itself.
