One of the most suggestive artworks displayed is “ Solstice of Hell“, exhibited in the Sala di Noè, under the fresco that tells of the covenant pact following the Great Flood. Samorì conceives stones as “ le ossa della madre“, literally “ Mother’s bones“, chosen to be in dialogue with the hosting space. Samorì‘s works constitute a mineral extension that assumes the “deformities” of the stone as it almost generates the pictorial narration of the Villa’s decoration. Indeed, Villa d’Este is a renaissance villa – that once was the home of Cardinal Ippolito d’Este – full of suggestive glimpses, with which the artist set an intense dialogue. The project is realized in collaboration with Galleria Monitor (Roma, Lisbona, Pereto), with the aim to create a bridge between museums and contemporary artists. Villa d’Este hosts “ Le Ossa della Madre“, a solo exhibition by Nicola Samorì.
