"Postcards of Love" — Francesco Nardi's illustrated journey on display

“Postcards of Love” at Galleria Siotto: exhibition overview

From May 7 to 24, Galleria Siotto in Cagliari presents “Postcards of Love”, a series of digital illustrations by Francesco Nardi. The show explores urban memory through depictions of iconic squares, buildings and cityscapes — featuring works depicting Venice, Turin, Florence, Naples, Rome and Milan, alongside newly created pieces dedicated to Cagliari.

Curatorial approach and themes

Curated by Alice Deledda, the exhibition frames the city as more than a backdrop: it is a shared heritage that calls for attention and care. The selection of works encourages viewing urban spaces with an attentive, affective gaze that connects personal and collective memory.
