On Saturday, March 7th, GOVONE ARTE begins, a series of events dedicated to contemporary art hosted in the rooms of the Royal Castle of Govone.

Opening the season is "QUOTIDIANA UMANITÀ," a photographic exhibition by Marco Mezzani, a project born from a journey of over 3,500 kilometers in northern India, from Rajasthan to Uttar Pradesh. A visual diary made up of faces, details, ordinary gestures that tell much more than they show. The photographs do not seek to define India, but to convey how it revealed itself to the author: direct, disarming, profoundly human.

Marco Mezzani's research is built on the relationship between the individual and the environment. Through editorial photography, portraiture, and documentary projects, he investigates how human beings inhabit, transform, and build the world around them. The landscape—urban or natural—is never just a backdrop, but an active presence. It tells stories of traces, changes, identities. Born in Sarzana and residing in Milan since 2011, Mezzani develops an essential visual language based on the balance between space and human presence.
