Rotella, Masi, and Francolino in Dialogue at Florence's Galleria Frittelli

Mimmo Rotella (1918–2006), Paolo Masi (b. 1933), and Andrea Francolino (b. 1979) are featured together at Galleria Frittelli in Florence. The exhibition highlights their shared use of paper as a medium to engage with urban space. Rotella's works focus on material interventions using torn and dirty poster remnants that reveal the passage of time. Masi's cardboard surfaces are marked by methodical, repeated gestures, then reassembled into serial elements framed with plexiglass to emphasize the individuality of each component. Francolino's 'Percorsi' use paper as a base to trace cracks in concrete, a symbol of contemporaneity. Despite generational gaps, their languages converge in a modern city context. The exhibition was curated by Eleonora Angela Maria Ignazzi.
