On Saturday, May 2, 2026 at 6:00 PM the international collective exhibition "Journeys: emotional experiences" opens in L'Aquila at the Palazzo dell’Emiciclo. The free-entry show presents painting, photography and sculpture that explore travel as a sensory, emotional and identity-forming experience.

• Exhibition period: May 2–16, 2026
• Venue: Palazzo dell’Emiciclo, L'Aquila (Abruzzo)

The exhibition is conceived as an immersive itinerary where each work acts as a threshold inviting visitors to pause and reflect on memory and perception. The monumental hall, enhanced by Franco Summa's stained glass, amplifies the show's luminous and sensorial dimension.
