The work of Lucia Romualdi, an artist who skillfully wove together visual research and musical dimension, is at the heart of this event promoted by the Lucia Romualdi Archive. Since the 1990s, her installations—light scores in dialogue with music—have opened new pathways in Italian contemporary art. Her work will be presented through the voices of Fausto Sebastiani and Angelica Speroni, in a vivid and personal conversation.
This will be followed by the guitar of Stefano Cardi, engaging in dialogue with the artist’s images, performing a movement from the work Codice C (Romualdi and Sebastiani), along with other 20th-century pieces.
