Inspired by Natalia Ginzburg’s (1963), novel of the same name, the exhibition explores themes such as intimacy, collectivity, and memory in a time of crisis. Through the works of ten artists, the exhibition reveals its essence: a visual and emotional grammar that is familiar, personal, and at the same time collective, capable of traversing universal history starting from the many individual stories contained in each piece. These stories speak to us, and we can also find ourselves within them.
