Romano Sambati's 'Dolore delle foglie' at Castello Carlo V in Lecce
Romano Sambati (born 1938 in Lequile) presents 'Dolore delle foglie' at Castello Carlo V in Lecce, a solo exhibition featuring over thirty works created between 2020 and 2022. The show is divided into five sections and traces the artist's creative journey since the 1980s through painting and drawing. Inspired by Lucretius's 'De rerum natura', Sambati explores themes of mortality, cyclical nature, and childhood purity. His philosophical reflection is expressed through delicate colors and material interventions, evoking nostalgia for a distant past. The artist describes his work as a search for the invisible, akin to the gathering of clouds or the shifting of winds. The exhibition was covered by Cecilia Pavone for Artribune.
