Successful Opening: Giuseppina Irene Groccia (GiGro) Solo Show at

Giuseppina Irene Groccia solo exhibition at Vintage

On Saturday 11 April 2026, from 18:00, the Vintage Literary Café run by Ermelinda Pipieri hosted the opening of visual artist and graphic designer Giuseppina Irene Groccia (known as "GiGro"). The event attracted a large audience and offered a compact programme where painting, poetry and music interacted harmoniously.

The exhibition focuses on a series of female faces: painterly surfaces that combine marks, words and color references to prompt viewers to pause and engage in a dialogue with the works. Each painting was introduced with short notes and followed by readings of poems authored by the artist herself, strengthening the bond between visual art and verse.

Highlights of the evening

• Main subject: narrative portraits of women.
• Artistic approach: integration of image and text to channel difficult emotions into accessible beauty.
• Curatorial guidance: Professor Giuseppe De Rosis directed the cultural programme, bridging painting, poetry and music.
• Live elements: poetry readings by the artist and musical interludes featuring young saxophonist Antonio Scarpello.
• Styling: model Chiara Chiara wore the "Galatea" costume by the Ruskìa Association.

The evening was conceived as a cultural journey, with each work opening space for reflection and conversation. The show is recommended for contemporary art enthusiasts and for those seeking cross-disciplinary artistic experiences centered on portraiture.
