Italy at Frieze<\/strong> is an initiative launched in 2019 to celebrate Italian art in London during Frieze London<\/a>. Italian galleries participating in the art festival each contribute a work to be displayed at the embassy.<\/p>\n

In 2022 fourteen galleries participated in Frieze London and Frieze Masters, and the exhibition of their works at the embassy was entitled “In Piena Crisi: Frontiers of Italian Art<\/strong>“. <\/em>It was curated by art historian and curator Sofia<\/strong> Gotti<\/strong> of Cambridge University and included a selection of Italian art from the post-war and contemporary periods. The artists whose work was displayed were: Lucia Marcucci <\/strong>(Galleria Frittelli Arte Contemporanea<\/strong>), Mimmo Rotella <\/strong>(Robilant + Voena<\/strong>), Armando Testa <\/strong>(Galleria Continua<\/strong>), Carla Accardi <\/strong>(Tornabuoni Art<\/strong>), Dadamaino <\/strong>(Galerie Knoell<\/strong>), Greta Sch\u00f6dl <\/strong>(Richard Saltoun Gallery<\/strong>), Jem Perucchini <\/strong>(Corvi-Mora<\/strong>), Leonor Fini <\/strong>(Galleria Tommaso Calabro<\/strong>), Francesco Vezzoli <\/strong>(Galleria Franco Noero<\/strong>), Marinella Senatore <\/strong>(Mazzoleni<\/strong>), Adelaide Cioni <\/strong>(P420<\/strong>), Lucia Pescador <\/strong>(Apalazzo Gallery<\/strong>), Giorgio Andreotta Cal\u00f2 <\/strong>(Sprovieri<\/strong>) e Giulio Paolini <\/strong>(Cardi Gallery<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

“Italy at Frieze” included a viewing on the evening of 13 October and a series of four talks on contemporary art, organised in collaboration with Illycaff\u00e8, which was also celebrating the 30th anniversary of the illy Art Collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first talk, on 12 October, was entitled “Art to Business at Freize<\/strong>: celebrating 30 years of beauty with the illy Art Collection<\/strong>\u201d and was moderated by art consultant and curator Rubina Romanelli,\u00a0<\/strong>who was in conversation with Carlo Bach<\/strong>, illycaff\u00e8’s art director, and Pascale Martine Tayou<\/strong>, who designed the commemorative coffee cups for the 30th anniversary of the brand’s art collection.<\/p>\n

The second talk took place on 14 October and was entitled “Art as an asset: Decoding today’s art market<\/strong>“. The event served double duty, also being part of the embassy’s Italy4Innovation<\/a> series, and focused on art as a commodity and refuge for investments, especially at times of financial instability. The panelists were Pietro Tomassoni<\/strong>, the founder of Artvisor; Alessandro Fiorotto<\/strong>, managing director of Gurr Johns Capital; Alexander Estorick<\/strong>, editor-in-chief of Right Click Save; and Micol Ap<\/strong>, founder and CEO of VerticalCrypto Art. The conversation was moderated by Carolina<\/strong> Mostert, senior specialist writer and project manager at Sotheby’s. The event was made possible by the support of Artvisor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another talk was held on the same day, entitled\u00a0“In piena crisi<\/strong>: Italianity and transnationalism<\/strong>“. The title of the talk was a reference to the title of the exhibition and highlighted the complex matter of national identity and the concept of being defined as “Italian” in a world in which the notion of belonging to a country is a matter of debate. The curator of the exhibition, Sofia Gotti<\/strong>, moderated the conversation with artist Jem Perrucchini <\/strong> and Alessio Antoniolli<\/strong>, director of Gasworks.<\/p>\n
