Sidival Fila Opens Bocconi Art Gallery in Rome: Solo Show Transforming

Sidival Fila opens Bocconi Art Gallery in Rome

Sidival Fila debuts a solo exhibition at the new Bocconi Art Gallery located in Villa Morgagni, Rome. The show focuses on transforming liturgical materials into contemporary expressions, proposing interventions that renew the symbolic charge of sacred fabrics and objects.

What to see

The selection brings together recent works and pieces from the past years, documenting Fila's path towards a practice where spirituality and formal experimentation meet. Highlights include:

• ST 04, Branches (series) – compositions combining scraps of fabric applied to wooden supports, playing on the contrast between lightness and weight.
• Metafora Avorio 15 (2025) – works that create contemplative spaces through sutures, cuts and openings on the surface.
• Reworkings of ecclesiastical vestments and objects that take on a narrative and humanistic dimension, emphasizing material memory.

Who should visit

The exhibition is suitable for contemporary art enthusiasts, anyone interested in the relationships between ritual and artistic practice, and visitors seeking material experimentation that dialogues with historical memory. The installation favors a contemplative, welcoming experience of the exhibition space.
