Exhibition 'Faglie' – Augusto Sciacca

Art that mends fractures

In Romano di Lombardia (Province of Bergamo, Lombardy), the evocative Grotta Church, in Piazza San Defendente, hosts the exhibition 'Faglie' by artist Augusto Sciacca in spring. The title refers to geological fractures, but in the works, it becomes a metaphor for wounds and their possible recomposition, in a journey that intertwines art and existential reflection.

A cycle developed over time

The 'Faglie' project is a cycle that Augusto Sciacca has developed between the late 1990s and today, in a long and layered work. The stop in Romano di Lombardia is part of a traveling exhibition that brings the artist's works to various locations in the Bergamo area, each adding meaning to the interpretation of the work.

Curation and sacred context

The exhibition is curated by Angelo Piazzoli and Paola Silvia Ubiali for the Fondazione Credito Bergamasco, which has been committed to enhancing the art and heritage of the territory for years. The installation in the Grotta Church creates a particularly intense dialogue between the works and the sacred space, amplifying the spiritual dimension of Sciacca's work. The inauguration is accompanied by a concert in the Basilica of San Defendente.

A cultural opportunity for Romano

With free admission, the 'Faglie' exhibition is a precious opportunity for the public of Romano di Lombardia and the Bergamo area to engage with contemporary art in a fascinating setting. An event that confirms the cultural vitality of the town and its commitment to enhancing its artistic and architectural heritage.
