Roots of the Soul: Immacolata Zabatti's solo exhibition in Grottaglie

Roots of the Soul: Immacolata Zabatti's solo exhibition in Grottaglie

Opening: Saturday 18 April 2026 at 17:00 at Sala del Castello Episcopio (Largo Maria Immacolata). Exhibition period: from 18 April to 3 May 2026. Admission is free.

The exhibition route

The show presents thirty works grouped into three thematic sections. The centerpiece is the "Century-old Olives" series, which blends academic realism with surreal suggestions to pay homage to the local landscape. The "Abstracts" section probes inner depths through gesture and color, while the "Ceramics" selection establishes a dialogue between painting and object.

Style and interpretation

Zabatti's work is marked by vivid chromatic choices and contrasts of light that produce suspended atmospheres—an approach that balances emotional vision with compositional control and has been noted by local critics.

Interactivity and digital features

The exhibition integrates digital tools to deepen the visitor experience: via QR codes attendees can access the online catalogue and short video reels documenting the creative process behind the works.

Opening and closing events

The inauguration will include contributions from municipal and cultural figures, plus a moderated session with poetic readings. The closing night on 3 May will offer a final conversation blending art and philosophy accompanied by poetry.
