Naples, Italy – A new exhibition titled ‘Napoli Visionaria’ by Neapolitan artist Riccardo Minervino has commenced at the historic Palazzo Venezia Napoli, inviting visitors on an artistic journey where dream and reality intertwine. The exhibition, which opened recently, is scheduled to run until April 11, 2026.
A Naïf Pop Universe in the Heart of Naples
