VERSAGLIA. Progetto Vetraspecchio
thu 30 October - fri 14 November 2025
The promotion of young artists constitutes the foundation and lifeblood for the development of an art market focused on contemporaneity, one that constantly requires new energy and fresh objectives.
As announced at the end of 2024, Galleria Incanto has developed a project aimed at supporting and promoting deserving and talented young artists.
Within this vision, Incanto presents an exhibition of young and very young talents, launched in June 2025 on the occasion of a competition for students from art schools, which also involved already established artists.
This is the exhibition:
VERSAGLIA
VETRASPECCHIO PROJECT
Curated by Sandro Pezzoli and Andrea Zepponi
Sandro Pezzoli, a renowned expert and collector of Murano art glass, dedicates part of his work to promoting glass culture through collaborations with schools and by involving young people who will be the future protagonists of the art world.
The exhibition takes inspiration from the theme of mirrored glass.
Glass, beyond its considerable aesthetic appeal, possesses such a vast range of tangible and conceptual potentialities that it opens up a panorama of themes capable of generating paradigmatic ideas and images.
One of these is the figure of the mirror, which—being composed of glass—has, throughout history, woven multiple connections with conceptual objects in both philosophical and literary contexts, as well as in the scientific field.
The theme of the mirror is explored in its many forms and meanings:
the mirror that duplicates reality; the mirror as a doorway; the mirror as a dreamlike medium; the mirror as a symbol of the afterlife; the mirror as a divinatory object; the mirror as a magical object; the mirror as a scientific object; the mirror and Vanitas; the mirror and phobias, etc.
The title “Versaglia” is the Italianized version of the name Versailles, the famous palace of Louis XIV, which houses the equally renowned Hall of Mirrors—so significant for the social function attributed to reflective surfaces, in which the splendid court of the Sun King could reflect upon itself and compare its artificial elegance with the natural beauty of the surrounding gardens.
The Italian name Versaglia seeks to propose a similarly broad use of the mirror and its function within the sociality of art, based on its etymological meaning from the Latin vertere—“to turn” or “to reverse”—which recalls precisely what the mirror does by reflecting images in inverse symmetry.
Among the artists invited to the project are:
Deborah Albini, Elizabeth Aro, Deda Barattini, Michela Cavagna, Joan Crous, Danilo De Rossi, Pasquale Gadaleta, Silvia Levenson, Donato Nuzzi, Vittoria Parrinello, Anna Pennati, Lucio Perna, Maria Grazia Rosin, Natalia Saurin, Maria Scarognina, Matteo and Bruno Seguso, Susanna Sent, Camillo Triulzi, Violetta Uboldi, Valentina Verde, Sally Viganò, and Cristina Vogliotti.
The exhibition will be on view at Galleria Incanto from October 29, 2025, through November 14, 2025.
