Silvia Giambrone's Mystical Love Performance in a Roman Chapel
On November 14, 2024, Silvia Giambrone, an artist born in Agrigento in 1981, showcased "Perché poi sarà troppo tardi (Cinque visioni)" at the Museo dell'Ospitale Santa Francesca Romana in Rome. The performance, inspired by Saint Francesca Romana (1384–1440), encouraged attendees to delve into the theme of mystical love within the Church of Santa Maria in Cappella. Giambrone explored the sacred through a variety of cultural texts, addressing modern issues. The title draws inspiration from Clarice Lispector, along with works by Azdyn Amimur and Georges Salines. Produced by Studio Stefania Miscetti, the performance connects to the history of the Ospitale. Giambrone's solo exhibition "Sub Rosa" is set to take place from December 3, 2025, to March 29, 2026, at Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, showcasing sculptures and videos.
