Raggioverde 2025: Six Artists Transform Siena with Site-Specific Works

The third edition of Raggioverde, curated by Michela Eremita for the Comune di Siena, runs through 2025, placing six artists across multiple historic venues. The project originated in 2022 with a landscape workshop and evolved into exhibitions in 2023 (23 artists, 250 works at Santa Maria della Scala) and 2024 (Gabriele Landi and Gianluca Sgherri at Museo Nazionale dell'Antartide). The 2025 edition features Pierluigi Pusole at Museo Civico with his 'Capricci' series (2025), small paintings of Siena as a watery utopia, dialoguing with 18th-century views of Piazza del Campo. Francesco Carone at Santa Maria della Scala presents an archive-installation of Golgota sculptures, including a silver crucifix attributed to Pietro Tacca and a 14th-15th century fresco by Martino di Bartolomeo. Concetta Modica at the Refugio (Fondazione Conservatori Riuniti) creates 'Composizione intrepida' (2025), a monumental still life on a horseshoe table evoking the former girls' boarding school. At the Accademia dei Fisiocritici, Sophie Ko shows 'Chiaro di luna' (2025) works on paper inspired by medicinal plants, and Cristina Gozzini projects a video using a camera trap to capture nocturnal wildlife. Eugenia Vanni at the Orto Botanico's Limonaia presents 'Volano via le cose vuote' (2025), saucers with painted landscapes, and a 'Giornate di sole' fresco on kitchen cloth. The exhibition emphasizes dialogue between ancient art, natural sciences, anthropology, and contemporary art.
