The Sky Arte series 'Grand'Italia,' created by Franco Marcoaldi, profiles six exceptional Italians who have made Italy great in Europe and the world. The episode airing Friday, September 23, features artist Giosetta Fioroni. Marcoaldi accompanies Fioroni to the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna (GNAM) in Rome, where a major solo exhibition was dedicated to her in 2013, and then to her Roman studio to witness the creation of a new work. At her home near the Tiber River, Fioroni shares memories of her years with writer Goffredo Parise and discusses her enduring passion for art and life. Writer and longtime friend Raffaele La Capria also offers insights into her character. The series aims to counter fatalism and decline by highlighting challenge, passion, and vitality.
