Nico Vascellari. Melma at Forte Belvedere in Florence until October 8

The exhibition features a selection of works by Arnaldo Pomodoro that span from the late 1950s to the present and, along with documentary materials available to the public, evoke his studio/archive.
Reversing the Eye Photography, Film, and Video in the Years of Arte Povera at the Triennale di Milano until September 3
Reversing the Eye, with its 250 works, offers a new perspective on Arte Povera, rarely associated with photographic and filmic mediums, inviting the viewer to “reverse their eyes” through a fresh reading of the artistic movement and placing it within the social and political context of the 1960s and 1970s in Italy.
Mario Schifano The New Imaginary 1960-1990 at the Gallerie d’Italia in Naples until October 29
The exhibition presents over 50 works from the artist’s production from the 1960s to the 1990s, coming from the Intesa Sanpaolo Collection, important cultural institutions such as the Museo del Novecento in Milan and the Galleria Internazionale d’Arte Moderna Ca’ Pesaro in Venice, as well as from art galleries and private collections.
The Beloved of Isis. Nero, the Domus Aurea, and Egypt at the Domus Aurea until January 14
The Beloved of Isis. Nero, the Domus Aurea, and Egypt is the exhibition conceived and organized by the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum within the Domus Aurea. The exhibition aims to highlight the particular bond that united Rome and Egypt in the 1st century AD through the figure of the emperor Nero.
Icones at Punta della Dogana until November 26
The word “icon” has two meanings: its Greek etymology refers to the concepts of “image” and “likeness,” while its usage generally refers to religious painting; in more recent times, the term has been associated with the idea of a model, an emblematic figure.
My home’s wind allo Zac – Zisa Contemporary Art in Palermo until September 24
Mario Merz, through his installations made with recycled materials, has made a significant contribution to the Poor Art movement, becoming one of its leading figures. Twenty years after his death, a new exhibition project retraces his career and thought, aiming to present the main characteristics of his modus operandi.
Kazuko Miyamoto at Madre – Donnaregina Contemporary Art Museum in Naples until October 9
The exhibition dedicated to artist Kazuko Miyamoto will be the first historiographical survey dedicated to Miyamoto by a European public institution. The exhibition path unfolds between the second and third floors of the historic Palazzo Donnaregina, retracing the various phases and numerous media through which the artist’s practice has developed from the 1970s to the early 2000s.
