Giorgio de Chirico: The Sun of Metaphysics in Scicli

The MACC - Museo d'Arte Contemporanea del Carmine in Scicli hosts an exhibition dedicated to Giorgio de Chirico, a central figure of Metaphysical art. The display pairs the artist's paintings with contemporary photographic works to highlight shared atmospheres and visual references.

• Where: MACC - Museo d'Arte Contemporanea del Carmine, Piazza Busacca 9, Scicli (RG), Italy
• When: from 18 May to 1 November 2026 (vernissage on 18/05/2026)
• Curator: Lorenzo Canova
• Works on display: about 50 paintings and Metaphysical pieces
• Photographic contribution: selected images by Giovanni Chiaramonte, Giuseppe Leone, Pino Ninfa and Armando Rotoletti

The exhibition investigates how de Chirico's imagery connects with Sicilian settings — from Mediterranean light to the Baroque volumes of the Val di Noto. Photographs act as a "real mirror" of the Metaphysical visions, conveying the silence and mystery recurring in the master's work.
