Floralia: Diego Gualandris’s spring hymn in Trastevere

Floralia is a solo exhibition by Diego Gualandris (b. 1993) staged at Galleria ADA in Trastevere, Rome. The presentation blends painting and sound to offer a contemporary take on Flora, the Roman deity of spring and fertility.

The works on display, produced in 2026, are mainly medium- to small-scale canvases featuring botanical imagery that evokes natural abundance, pagan eroticism, and dialogues with contemporary art history. Complementing the visual program is a central sound element: a gramophone playing a 33 rpm record created by the artist, designed as dreamlike soundscapes with long notes and sudden fades that enhance the immersive quality of the show.

The exhibition also includes works with theatrical titles that highlight the project’s narrative and performative dimensions.
