Museum exhibition
Spanning 25 years of Vezzoli’s artistic production, each embroidery work in this show is matched with the poster of a significant film featuring the actor portrayed – such as Anna Magnani, Sophia Loren, and Silvana Mangano – and bridges Vezzoli’s deeply personal cinematic history with the collective imagination shaped by film. The pairing of embroidery and poster along two long corridors with theater seats at the center invites viewers to engage with both the historical and emotional dimensions of cinema and offers a layered perspective on the relationship between stardom and artistic interpretation. By blending classic narratives with emotional introspection, the exhibition highlights cinema’s enduring influence on Vezzoli’s vision and the cultural landscape at large.
