Diego Cibelli: the alchemy of porcelain

One year after the presentation at the Museum of Art of the site-specific project by Diego Cibelli, Una vita all’aria aperta (September 2025), Fondazione Luigi Rovati hosts a conversation between the artist and Sylvain Bellenger, Director Emeritus of the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte, moderated by Giovanna Forlanelli, President of Fondazione Luigi Rovati.

At the center of the conversation—and of the recently published volume—is the original intervention created for the Museum of Art of Fondazione Luigi Rovati, where the works inhabit three spaces: the palace atrium, with four masks inspired by Etruscan forms; the entrance hall of the Piano Nobile, where four figures with ancient features move in a circular dance, suspended in mid-air, while on the wall a pair of birds stretches outward; and the large façade overlooking the garden, animated by reliefs of anthropomorphic figures, animals, and floral elements.
