Terra Mater: Campese and Solarino at Villa Altieri, Rome

Terra Mater: Campese and Solarino at Villa Altieri

From April 15 to 21, Villa Altieri in Rome hosts Terra Mater, an exhibition that pairs painter Francesco Campese with photographer Antonio Solarino for the first time. The show stages a conversation between two visual approaches focused on origin, memory and place.

The selected works — paintings and photographs — go beyond documentary representation to create intimate landscapes. Drawing on references from Sicily and Irpinia, the pieces evoke childhood traces and collective memories. Muted atmospheres, visual silences and veiled light shape a suspended, evocative itinerary.

Although they work in different media, Campese and Solarino address the same question: what remains of a place when it becomes memory? The exhibition lets painting and photography answer one another, complementing rather than overlapping.
