Riccardo Minervino’s ‘Napoli Visionaria’ Exhibition Opens at Palazzo Venezia
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
Minervino’s work presents a unique ‘naïf pop’ universe, characterized by suspended skylines, imagined neoclassical temples, and Gulf horizons painted with light and poetry. This visual narrative aims to celebrate the mystical and magnetic soul of Naples, capturing the essence perceived at dawn over the sea, amidst ancient history and contemporary visions.
The exhibition is hosted within the historic halls of Palazzo Venezia, a fitting backdrop for an artist deeply rooted in the city’s culture and landscape.
