San Lorenzo neighborhood explored in group exhibition at Galleria Gilda Lavia

At Galleria Gilda Lavia in Rome, a group exhibition curated by Valentina Ciarallo explores the identity and history of the San Lorenzo district. Featured are works from artists connected to the area, such as Nunzio, Giuseppe Gallo, Bruno Ceccobelli, and many others, including the collective Numero Cromatico. New artist-run spaces, represented by Alessandro Calizza and Krizia Galfo of SA.L.A.D. (San Lorenzo Art District), are also highlighted. Once a working-class neighborhood affected by wartime bombings, San Lorenzo saw revitalization starting in the 1970s through student involvement, political activism, and artists transforming industrial sites like the Pastificio Cerere. The exhibition raises inquiries about the essence of San Lorenzo and its evolving cultural significance.
