Verified profile


A project that reconstructs and deconstructs the figure of the artist, revealing a rebellious and luminous soul, suspended between his roots and creative urgency.

His artistic and human journey finds its maximum expression in Recapitulation, a series of paintings that symbolically narrates the story of his family and his spiritual itinerary, deeply influenced by his father's figure.

Daughter of Leone Caetani, prince of Teano and duke of Sermoneta, Sveva Caetani (Rome, 1917 - Vernon, Canada, 1994) spent her life in Vernon, Canada, where the family moved after her father decided to emigrate with his second partner, Ofelia Fabiani. After her father's death in 1935 and the difficulties faced by her mother, Sveva lived a long period of various forms of isolation until 1960.

Resulting from the collaboration between various Italian and non-Italian institutions, the project also includes interventions by Carlo Benvenuto (Stresa, Italy, 1966) and Houda Kabbaj (Casablanca, Morocco, 1985) created for the occasion.
