The Multidisciplinary Book Presentation

On Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 5:30 PM, the Spazio Metropolitano di Villa Lazzaroni hosts the official book launch of "L'Uomo Artefice. La materia che cura" by Gaetano Infantino. The event is part of the cultural programming for the collective exhibition HOMO FABER: The Shaping of Mind and Matter, held under the patronage of the VII Municipality of Rome within Rome Art Week.

Hosted and introduced by Piero Zanetov, the presentation will explore the core themes of the volume — conceived as the natural continuation of the author's previous book The Invisible Asylum: artistic creation as a therapeutic process, the dialogue between mind and raw matter, and the restorative capacity of the creative gesture to overcome social stigma.

The evening will be enhanced by artist and actress Aurora Stella, who will deliver a live theatrical performance alongside a display of her own visual artworks. Though independent in their artistic direction, her works establish a subtle and meaningful bridge between the written word, stage performance, and the visual environment.

This multidisciplinary event brings together literature, theater, and fine arts within the context of the collective exhibition.
