GOLASECCA_CONTEMPORARY

My research explores the religious and aesthetic symbolism of the Golasecca culture, focusing on the Situlae, Fibulae, and the Lepontic language found on artifacts and dolmens in Lombardy. Key references include the funerary collection of Sesto Calende, for its craftsmanship and historical value, the Stele of Prestino, the Stele of Vergiate, and the fusiform flask of Ornavasso, for their inscriptions, as well as the Lid of Grandate, along with fibulae and finds from the Archaeological Society of Como, for the study of decoration.

This solo exhibition, curated by Chiara Ghizzoni, is scheduled for June 2025 at the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian in Como. It will feature a 3-meter wooden and copper sculpture, a mural print measuring 1400 mm x 640 mm, an artist’s book, and paper and copper installations, all inspired by the archaeological remains of the Golasecca civilization. My research journey has included visits to museums housing Golaseccan artifacts (Civic Museum of Erba, Archaeological Museum of Como, and Civic Museums of Varese), meetings with specialists, and field explorations in the Spina Verde Park to study the preserved finds, in addition to an in-depth study of scientific articles.
