Curated by Barbara Melcarne and Michele Caccamo; Artistic Direction by Deborah Di Bernardo
May 10–17, 2021
“70INSIEME” (70 Together) marks the 70th birthday of the renowned singer-songwriter Claudio Baglioni.
The project stems from the specific desire of Barbara Melcarne—a painter, art curator, and longtime fan of the artist—to craft a bespoke, exclusive gift that celebrates this significant milestone in his life.
A simple gift would not suffice; it simply wasn't enough. "Deborah, I’ve decided: I want to organize an exhibition—a true event in his honor. Something that can evoke the same emotions in him that he has given all of us through his songs and music."
Painting, sculpture, poetry, and photography:
70 artworks, 70 artists, and 70 songs selected from Claudio Baglioni’s vast repertoire—songs that have defined his life—are paired together to create an "emotional journey." Here, the lyrics of his songs are interpreted through artworks that he either brought to life or inspired. Michele Caccamo—a mutual friend and co-curator of the event—is also participating.
It was no easy feat, given the logistical constraints of the pandemic and the "Neapolitan" style of organization, but it was made possible thanks to the tremendous organizational support provided by Elio Rumma.
The exhibition presentation will be followed by a series of literary gatherings throughout the week.
