The second floor of Palazzo Collicola hosts Bodies of Air, curated by Stefano Chiodi, featuring a selection of photographs by Stefano Cerio. The project is part of the public notice "Photography Strategy," promoted by the General Directorate of Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture, which selected Palazzo Collicola as one of the subjects.

Thanks to the call, the museum was able to acquire the photographic series Brenva and Aquila created by Cerio: in Aquila (2019-2021), the artist installed churches, castles, and inflatable slides in the landscape around the Abruzzo city hit by the 2009 earthquake, places frequented by hikers captured in moments of emptiness and silence, reactivated by the presence of amusement park rides; in Brenva (2023), named after the famous glacier at the foot of Mont Blanc that, due to climate change, is rapidly melting, an inflatable wall was created, placed where the end of the glacier used to be, making the lost space visible in recent years, also representing the limit of our gaze and the lack of vision for the future. Two projects with a strong conceptual imprint, at the intersection of photography/contemporary art/environmental art, engaging different languages to artistically document the radical transformations of our time.
