Serendipity Group Show at Galleria Vecchiato in Padua
There's a new exhibition called 'Serendipity' happening at Galleria Vecchiato in Padua, featuring nine artists, both new and well-known. Some of the names you’ll find there are Mariarosaria Stigliano, Affiliati (Matteo Peducci), and Giuseppe Inglese, among others. The show explores ideas of change and movement, highlighted by calming colors, a mix of figurative and geometric designs, and various materials. The word serendipity, which Horace Walpole coined in the 1700s, reflects the gallery's bright presence in the quiet city after the lockdown. Maria Palladino is curating the exhibition, and this gallery has been a supporter of emerging artists since it opened in the late '80s.
